Hey guys I have an 02 4Runner with OME 881's up front and OME 906's in back. I have had this setup on the truck for a little over 100k and its time to replace some worn out components. The top of one of the OME rear shocks rusted off so I replaced them with some Monroe shocks and they are not valved properly for the lift.

I need help weighing my options. This is my daily driver, I don't wheel much and definitely don't wheel hard enough to justify lifted suspension. I like the look and don't want to go back to stock 02 height. I do frequently pull trailers and load it up with lots of stuff.

Option 1 is to just replace the worn out OME shocks. OK option but I the OME shocks are overpriced and it will still be pretty stiff ride.

Option 2 is to buy stock 99 coils and bilstein shocks. I would be losing a little bit of the height but I could live with it. I would be concerned that the stock rear coils would sag with the things I do.

Option 3 is to get the Sonoran 1.2 kit. I like this option and know it would handle everything I could throw at it but, as I stated I don't really need the "pure offroad prowess"

Any other options or suggestions you guys would recommend?

I am in almost the same boat. I bet option 2 would be the easiest to do. I wonder why the SS 3.0 kit was discontinued? I'll have to phone and talk to those guys.

I went with the OME 906 and Tundra TRD front coils paired with Bilstein 5100s. 2" lift and an excellent ride.

Well this fall I had a shock start to leak so I bought the Sonoran Steel 3.0 kit with 99 coils and 4600 bilstein shocks. Stiffer than stock but nicer on broken pavement. It definitely is up over where it used to sit. I am happy with my choice. You might do more wheeling than my daily driver so the height may not be enough for you. Stock tire size on for now. Hopefully this gives you a better idea if this is enough for you.
