Question 3rd Gen Coils

I'm not really too familiar with the coil set up as I've mostly deal with leafs and IFS (tbars). I'm going to be getting new coils for my 98 4Runner. I just want a little lift and get a little more stiffness. (I'm going to be towing a uhaul trailer from Oregon to Alaska) I can get a set of OME coils that will provide appx. 2" of lift but I don't know if they will be stiffer than stock as most websites say that they provide good flex. Do you guys know how they compare in stiffness to stock? Performance Products has a set of 1" lift springs that will be stiffer than stock. Am I going to be running into a quality issue with these? I know that I am going to cause additional wear on my CVs by doing this but do I need to get new shocks if with either a 1" or 2" coil? Also, am I going to have to get the front realligned or recambered with new coils? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, the OMEs are stiffer than stock and will probably do well for towing. Just like when cranking the tbars when you lift the front you have to get it re-aligned. When you lift the front also get the diff drop kit from roger brown to help a little with the CV problem.

Where can i get that Diff Drop Kit? I am planning to install OME HD in front and OME Medium in the back, will there be any difference in height? I am not installing a winch yet until i have the funds and the wife's clearance..
