Hey guys my 88 needs some love. I am just looking for stock replacement stuff right now because of limited funds. How are the rough country shocks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-New-Shocks-86-89-Toyota-4Runner-4x4_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33590QQihZ013QQitem Z230184759962QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW on ebay? Also, who has the cheapest leaf springs? And no I do not want an add-a-leaf unless someone sways me that way.

Don't know on the shocks.. I have Monroe sensa-somethings on mine and they seem to do ok. On the springs, what is wrong with yours? Just sag or are they actually tweaked? As much as I'd like new springs I cheaped out and did the Pro-Comp AALs and 1.5" longer Downey shackles to fix my sag. Works well and everyone always asked me how I get it to flex so much oddly enough. I did relocate the lower shock mounts though. Still, for like $35 for the AALs and $60ish for the shackles I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

If I go with stock length replacements when I can afford it I will probably get OMEs.

Here's the before and after on mine:

The OME's were the cheapest replacement leafs I could find, about 100 each for ~2" lift.
