shock question pleae answer quick!

Hey everyone!

2004 4runner V8 SR5. Alright, so I am pretty close to buying the Billy's 5100 series all around. Question is, should I keep stock shocks all around, go with the OME medium duty in the back, or just throw daystar spacers back there? I want to kicjk up the front either 1.75 or 2.5, but raise the back at about 1.5 2.5 bilsteins in front, bilsteins in back with OME coils. is what I was aiming for. I heard stiff shocks in stiff coils is bad, thats why I am reluctant. Other shock reccomendations?

But it is more fun to chase them all down

Both OME and Bilstein make good shocks. I had OME on my 97 4runner and I have Bilstein on my 90 4runner. I liked both of them. Just make sure that the shocks are long enough to take advantage of your new springs. If they are to short it will limit your wheel travel.

I had the heavy duty OME springs in my 4runner and liked them a lot, I could load up the back and it would not sag way down, but it still flexed pretty good, and rode nice on the street/offroad.
