The OEM t0yota springs are very good. Talk to your favourite dealer, or check amayama.

Pedders would seem to be a pretty good choice and helpful too.

I'd go standard Mr T. on a Collie. My D4D has a 2" lift and the V6 is low mileage standard. Guess which is far better to drive in everyday use.

Hi Mike,
I ordered new front and rear springs from Rough trax in UK.
Have now pedders 2" lift on front and back.
Used them for now with the original shocks.
Front is much stiffer and handles 200% better with cornering and breaking.
For the rear i already used before springs from a J95 because of the weight of an LPG tank in the back.
Now with full LPG tank (100kg) and pulling trailer (100kg ball weight), the car stays level.
If you need more travel in your suspension, you also need the longer shocks. (driving all terrain)
And what is expensive ? break downs and accidents are more expensive !
For better advice, just call rough trax uk.
Succes
