I'm assuming your talking about 3rd gen 4runners?
LC coils are great because they provide a ton of flex and a comfortable ride. The downside to them is they also create a lot more body roll than stock, and sag much more under load. If you plan on having frequent heavy loads in the rear or towing often, get yourself some 9 wrap coils instead of 7.5 or 8 wrap. My 9 wrap coils provided about 5.5" of lift, but settled to just over 4" with the bumper and tire carrier, which worked out perfect for me.

If you have a 2nd gen 4runner, I can't really say for sure but I imagine the effects are about the same.

ya it should workout the same except that i can only use fj80 rear coils on my 2nd gen cause that is the only style that fits the same but should give me about 3 1/2 4 inches of lift the ill just do ball joint spacers to even out the front...
