1999 2wd suspension ?

Okay guys my head is officially spinning. I have read all the threads and links on hear regarding suspension but hteere is not a lot covering the 2wd. Hopefully some if the suspension gurus can help me out. I have a 1999 2wd v6 4runner with 120k on it. The suspension pretty much bounces all over the place when I go over speed bumps or dips in the road.

So what I am looking to accomplish suspension wise is not really an off road goal but I want to be able to fly over some of the rough roads and dips etc without feeling it or getting tossed around. I can afford the SAWS but from what I have read I would be spending alot of money on something that has alot more potential than I would ever use. Please help guys I need to get this suspenion done before I go nuts. Thanks

Are you looking for lift or just a better suspension for baha style driving or both?

I wouldnt mind a lift. I want to at least level it out but ride is more important than height

I am about to install performance products 1 inch lifting springs with a set of 4 blistein shocks. Like you, I am going for more of a on road performance than off road.

If you're going off-road and driving fast, spacers are not gonna be the way to go in my opinion. They won't ride very well. I would do Old Man Emu like Bruce already mentioned or some SAW's up front. Camburg engineering (the company that makes the SAW's) specializes in off-road racing so they would also be a good choice if plan on getting serious. Maybe some more people will chime in.

i dont believe that Camburg makes SAWs, they only supply them. SAWs (Sway-A-Way) are made by Sway-A-Way. Camburg is a custom fabrication shop in Huntington Beach, CA. they do very good work, but dont actually produce SAWs.

I have a 99 2wd with 60K and I WAS having the same problem with the sloppiness in the rears only. Since I was not going to do any off roading I just went the stock route. When ALL of them have to be replaced I may opt for some aftermarket springs/coils, but for now this is all I need. I just replaced my rear springs with Toyota OEM springs...wow what a difference!!!! I picked them up from a member on this board for $40 and I couldn't be happier

I am starting to drool over the OME setup but I dont want to order the wrong stuff. Are there any good contacts in SoCal for OME stuff that might be able to help me put together some part numbers?
