Suspension woes.

I need some advice after reading tons of articles and reviews on different setups, I still can't make up my mind.

I have a '91 4Runner, bought it a few months ago, and the time has finally come to upgrade the suspension. The only problem is I can't make a decision on what I want or who to order it from. *sigh*

For a background, I have the 91 with the stock setup, so it has fallen victim to the sagging rear end. I am only using this truck for trail riding, not rock crawling or mud bogging. My main problem is finding someone to order from.
I am located way up in Northern Canada. There is NOBODY in town that can order any of the suspension setups that I am considering, so my only option is for online ordering.

I have never installed new shocks or springs before, so that will be another hurdle which I am confident I can tackle.

I am not looking at larger tires, just sticking with the 31". I would like 1.5"-2" of lift though.

My winning setup so far is OME all around. OME Steering Stablizer, OME STD Shocks and OME HD Rear Coils. Quoted at $812 CND in my hands.

I would just like some reassurance before I drain my bank account that this is the right setup for me. Preferably would like to hear from other 2nd gen owners with experience on anything they would have rather done etc.

Thanks mates. I just have cold feet.

Try checking out http://www.xtremeoff-road.com
Mike is a member here (Xtremeoff-road) and he's very good with customer service. He gives special pricing to YT members so that's really nice too.

The best way to get in touch with him right now is to call him.
I'll have to search my PMs to find the number but I'll post it once I find it.

sounds pretty good. i know instead of the OME coils, a lot of people opt for downey HD coils. either way, im sure youll be good. also, keep in mind, with that set up, youll just be raising up the rear to compensate for the sag..

oh, and the reason you have cold feet is because you are in canada...

Alright, going to finalize this after work today. Just on my lunch break right now.

Incase anyone is interested in the same setup, here are the part numbers. I have never seen them listed anywhere else, so this may be useful to whomever wants the same setup.

Front Shocks: N98
Steering Damper: OMESD33
Rear Coils: OME891
Rear Shocks: N72F
