Coil replacement w/spacer kit?

I've got a 00' Limited. I have a Daystar 2.5 spacer kit on it. I'm running 285's on her. The rear is begining to sag a little. Question is, should I replace both the front and rear springs at the same time? I do have a little bit of rubbing issues and i'm wondering if the PP springs will help that at all. They claim a 1" inch lift from them. I see alot of people recommending 99 coils, whats the best setup for these rigs to prevent the sagging from happening. What about shocks? Should I do these while i'm at it? I don't want to thrash my ride but I do want to fix the sagging issue so it doesn't happen again. Thanks for any help in advance!

Since you want to get springs and shocks at the same time you might as well go with the tundra coils in the front with the OME's in the rear and tacoma shocks. In the end you will have a better ride for pretty much the same price.

That was what I was thinking about doing to my 97. I was going to get the 99 coils for the front with a spacer and for the back I was going to run the OME 890's with the Tacoma shocks.
After adding it all up i figured what I said in the first paragraph.

Go with the Tundra Setup.

Hey I would go with Tundra coils up front, but I wouldn't get 99' coils for the rear. I had the stock ones on mine and just like any other rear 4Runner coil made since 1990 they will sag eventually. After six years mine were sagging around 2 inches before I replaced them.
