I have a '97 4Runner that I bought with a 2.5" spacer lift. I was reading the other day and saw that it's recommended that when installing the spacers on top of the coils, you should also move to different struts. So my question is, if I'm not using OEM parts, how do I know what springs/struts to put on the truck?

 

Theres lots of people here using a spacer lift on there second gen and later 4Runners with the stock struts, and i havn`t read here of anyone having any problems, and im sure if there was a problem it would have been posted here.

 

I ran that set up for a year with my stock struts with no problems. I just sold my old set up a few days ago because it was still fine, just not as good as my OME set up now (I sold the 2 front stock strut assemblies with the 2.5" spacers installed and threw in the rear spacers too).
