I would say go for the performance products 1" springs, I heard they ride a lot smoother and the 1" lift will look good.

btw, not to be a dick, but caps off please

Welcome!

Did you have the toyota suspension recall done? If you havent I would suggest you do because that will help with the rough ride. But check out the suspension part of my site and you will see why the 2WD 4runner rides rough. As a solution get the recall done if you havent and some new shocks might be in order.

Talking

go HERE and find the TRD air bags for the rear coils. Have the recall performed, but while the stealer is in there, have them istall this kit. It shouldn't cost you much since they will have the rear coils out anyway. It SOLVED my harsh ride problems for good.

A friend of mine has a 98 limited 4wd and I put the same set on his and it cured his bad ride as well. He also put on new shocks/struts. If you have over 75k on the original shocks, it's about time for a replacement.

Once you have the rear spring recall performed, then your rear suspension will match what's in the 99+ models, so the air bag set will work for ya'.

Good Luck.
