Default Bilstein 5100 and Moog 4Runner springs review

i just wanted to report that this set up is very nice for me. I was reluctant to give up dampening controls but I'm very happy. It feels a little stiffer in general but definitely more planted if that makes sense. I would recommend it as an alternative to oem replacements.

Nice to hear of another alternative. Can you tell us why you went with Moog instead of oem FJ or Runner springs?

The Moog springs were a good price and I went with the 4runner instead of the FJ because of 2 reasons. The FJ springs were 660lb rating and the 4runner was 595lbs, close to the 605 stock. And, I was going to do the lift with the bilsteins and didn't want extra lift with the FJ springs. However, when I do the rear bag conversion eventually, I will get the FJ springs for that.
