rear springs for 02 4-runner

I have an 02 4-runner with a Rev-Tec 3" Suspension lift. All springs and shocks are stock. As you may have guessed, my rear is sagging with a medium load. Can I go with the OME HD springs? I know they are made to be installed with OME lifts but will they lift my rear higher or level me out since I already have the 3" lift? Hope this makes sense. Basically, I'm just trying to get the rear up with a sufficient load in the back.

Thanks,
Lou

I will clarify...mine is a 97 and I just wanna level if not bring it up a tad higher than the front. Where is the best place to get OME stuff cheapest?

Great! I would love to see your results. Another option, I see downey has 3.5" rear springs as well. I wonder if you can run those without the rear spacers

I'm running OME 890s. They lifted the rear 3.25" over the sagging stock springs. The 890s should only give 2.75" of lift. They handle a load great and aren't too stiff.

OME Info: "I am giving you the approximate lift heights, your exact amount of lift will vary slightly depending on the condition of your current springs. The front heights are respectively: 880=1.25", 881=1.75" & 882=2.25" and the rears are: 906=2.0", 890=2.75" & 891=3.0" . The 882's are not an ARB/ OME recommended fit, but our experience has shown that they work well with some applications. " (info given from 4X4 Connection)

Hey thanks for the info! Now are you running just the springs or do you have a spacer lift like we do? What did you pay for them?

I am running just the 890s with the stock jounce bumpers (rubber cones). No extra spacers. OME does sell 10mm trim packers (spacers). All of the specs of my 4runner are here.

Very cool! Great info! If i'm not using the stock rubber cones should I get the 10mm spacers? Who did you order from and what kind of cost am I looking at? I had another 97 before this one and had bilstein adj coilovers in the front with a 3" spacer and h&r 1" progressive springs in the rear that I got from performance products. I can get those same springs now but they want $199 for them
