Even with someone on the rear bumper unless they are jumping up and down, the weight doesn't seem to affect the height at all. I would say I got about 3.5 - 4" of lift. In my haste to install the coils, I forgot to take measurements... 
But I did gain a lot of lift from the coils. Even after they settled. Put it this way.. My frame rail is fully visible if you're looking from the side. Before I got the coils on, you could only see a very tiny bit of it.

I think they're comparable to stock... if not softer feeling. I really like the ride. I believe they are 8 wraps... They are the same thickness as the stock 4Runner coils.

I know for sure they are the same diameter... That's one thing I remember noticing. I'll look to see if they are the 8 wraps. Let's get on the same page as to how many wraps... are we counting from the bottom coil end up? or the top coil end down?

WOW! I just went out to look at my springs and I count only 6 wraps on my coils.

you have to remember that andy's lc coils are most likely from the front as 3rd gen 4rs' rears are the same diameter as lc fronts... does that make sense?
