OME Shocks
Just a quick question, are ome "medium" and "firm" shocks the same thing. I am trying to figure out which ones to get for my 99 4runner 2wd, just want it to ride a bit better.

well, i would definitely avoid the "firm" shocks ... as for whether "comfort" or "medium" would be better, i'm uncertain as i don't know how the stock coils behave. that said, do you ever tow anything or carry much of a load in the rear? if not, "comfort" might be the way to go.

Spring rate has a bigger effect on ride quality than shock dampening, so you ought to consider the OME 890 springs- they're not far from stock feel.

i don't do much towing at all, except for the very rare occasion when i tow my 4wheeler somewhere. i thought that they were extended length, but i read many threads where people were talking about just installing these type of shocks on their 4runner without replacing their coils.

i always thought even the OME heavy duty were about the same as stock or even softer. The comforts are way too soft. Maybe i'm thinking about the spring ratings though from OME v/s stock.
