Cruiser coils vs Downey HD

Does anybody know if there is a significant difference between the Downey heavy duty rear springs for a 2nd gen 4Runner and the Cruiser coils?

Yes, probaly 3" of ride height.

With the 3" Downey kit and my rear bumper, it only measured about 1.5" of lift.

When I swapped to Cruiser coils, I had an additional 2.5 or so inches of lift.

Right now I can't answer that because the Cruiser coils are in Cebby's possession. He has two pairs and I was considering buying one of them if they would give me a little more lift than the Downey 1.5" Heavy Duty coils I have on my truck right now.

they're probably factory length if cebby has them. and in that case, they will give you a bunch more than just the 1.5" HD's

That's good news b/c right now, the Downeys have the rear of my truck just a bit higher than the front. After I add 1.5" BJ spacers, l was worried that the rear end would be sagging again . If so, hopfully the Cruiser coils will once again raise up the rear end a tad higher than the front (or at least level it out).
