From my searches and the writeups in the forum, it seems quite few of you use OME coil and OME shocks combo, however, I have purchased a set of Bilsteins HDs not too long ago, so throwing the shocks away is not an option.

How many of you have tried OME HD coil with Bilsteins HD shocks? Any pros and cons would be much appreciated.

I have a 3rd gen. 4runner. Stiff ride is what I want.

 

IMO the bilsteins aren't close to being considered stiff... Only complaint I hear about slapping OME HD coils on the Bilsteins is that it will be a stiff ride... You may want to give it a shot since stiff is what you are looking for.

Another alternative route you can do is the 2.5" or 3" cornfed front spacer and Downer 3.5/2.5 rear coils. I currently have this setup with the 2.5" cornfed in front coupled with bilstein HD's and the ride is pretty good.

 

Like Grimpy, I have spacers up front and in the rears (Revtek) w/ Bilsteins. The ride is stiff but I don't mind it. It's not bone-jarring stiff if you're curious.

If you were thinking of springs, I wish I went this route b/c my spacers give me too much float when driving fast and hitting a bump or uneven road. I think good springs would keep the truck flatter to the ground. You can always get Tundra springs up front and get Downey's in the rear and, I heard this setup is pretty nice. If I do upgrade in the future, this is the setup I'll try.

 

If you want a very stiff ride try performance products 1" lift springs with those bilsteins. That should be about as tight a ride as you can get....you might also want to get some addco sway bars to help on the handling in the turns as well.
