So seeing as how TRDparts has a sale, 127 for pairs of ome springs im thinking about jumping on it..
Reading on TTORA it seems the 881's will be the way to go for my single cab.
However, Im completely unsure of which shocks to go with..
Im thinkng the N91S's..?
Ill be picking up a set of 3" rear springs from allpro this friday, just trying to figure out what im gonna do for the front..

Oh and here's that sale I was speaking of..

881 and the n91s is what i have. i like it but i have a shade more weight over the front then you do. also note that that n91s will allow more droop then stock and become a cv angle issue when used with top out spacers.

this was once the SS "in" set up for 4runners. but you can see in the pictures that the top out spacer leads to huge cv angles. http://www.sonoransteel.com/ultimate_spacer.html

I read that the top out spacer was only used after they sag..?

And yeah i was thinking that I dont have much weight as others using the same setup..
But I think ill be ok..
Ill still be running 31's for a while, so whiile I will think about the cv angles, I dont think ill have much of a problem..

881's and n91s is what it is, Thanks buddy !!

if you need the 10mm spacers, i have a set, and i could get you the extended studs (they are still installed in my struts, but i have been meaning to swap them out.

top outs go on the top and effectivly increase the length of the shock. that allows for a higher lift and lower droop. those are the spacers on my kitchen counter that you have seen. i dont think ill ever install them.
you can always put your tires up for sale and see if theres any takers. they are nice tires, just a bit short.

hmmm, Sean what exactly do you mean by 10mm spacers..?
Like the top outs that troy is talking about..?

Troy, If Idk how I would go about selling the tires, they are on my rims, and id like to keep those...So id have to put my truck on blocks, get the tires dismounted, sell em, buy new tires, so I think my truck would be out of service for a week..

yea i know it would be a huge pain but tire lift is the most useful. of course tires rubbing means you have to wait for lift to go wheeling. lol its a vicious money sucking circle. i dont miss my truck stock anymore but dang, it really had bang for the buck back then lol

Yeah I know exactly what you mean troy, Tire lift is the best, Im thinking about possibly picking up a set of retreads and some cheapo rims for the trail...?

The 31's for dd useage..

Anyway, thanks for the advice guys, Sean if I need the topouts ill let you know.
