Replace all springs?

I found a shop specializing in truck accessories that will replace the rear spring in my '91 4Runner for around $120 ($65 an hour, and the guy said he couldn't imagine it taking over 2 hrs). They would buy the springs from the cheapest online supplier (my choice of springs) so there is very little markup on the springs (does $90-120 per set sound OK?).

Not knowing if the fronts are as worn out as the rears (the rear is drooping), should I get all 4 done? (forgive me if it doesn't have front springs).

The dealer wanted $600 or so for the rears only.

Thanks,

Bill

I've been too busy to play online lately...

Are these OK? Would I need new shocks? I assume that the 1 1/2 lift would level out the vehicle.

Thanks

Ups..

The Downy HD springs are pretty sweet & won't beat you to death. Ask DeathCougar; I believe he installed them.
