OME rear leafs 1988 4runner questions

I am looking to replace the rear leafs and shocks on my 1988 4runner. I plan to go with the OME 2" lift springs. First, who is the best place to buy from online considering service and price? I have looked at Rocky-road and oldmanemu.com thus far. Are there any others I should consider? Second, what length do I need? I am guessing I need the 43" springs? Also, I plan to replace the rear, see what it settles to, and then decide what to do with the front. Do most of you recommend going with heavier duty torsion bars or just turning up the stock ones a little?

Were in the same boat, they route im going on is Downey . Ive herd good stuff about their leafs. But i have no idea for what to do with rear shocks.

also, if ordering from downey make sure when you place your order you ask them to put another set of bushings in because apparently they only offer 2 out of the 4 you need?

read up on this to, https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/n...stalled-48400/

edit* for the front, if it sits a bit higher you could tweak your tbars or install bj spacers and if it is to high after the bj spacers you can turn down your tbar ive herd.

I purchased a full OME suspension for my 87 pickup from http://trdparts4u.com
Good parts, great service.
