need help before christmas

i have a 95 4runner and im wanting to get a rear lift kit so it doesnt look like its saging anymore. I dont go offroading and i have 2 subs in the back of my 4runner at all times. Im a newb at this stuff so im not exactly sure what is out there. Any help on what kind of kit i should get or whats the best out there would be great. If i put a kit on would i need to buy anything else for suspension or anything else? Also, is there anything else i should get for christmas for my 4runner?? thanks!

Many of us run the Downey HD coils back aft.

I carry lots in the back with no sag.

Raised me 2" in the back it did.

would you recommend shocks to go with the lift kit? also would 1 1/2 be good enough for my back to be inline with my front?

Aside from lifting the rear, do these affect the ride?
