    Help choosing the best OME lift for my 4Runner?

    I have medium duty OME springs and shocks on my 2006 4 Runner and like it. With your bumper and winch I would go for medium or heavy duty.

    Help choosing 4x4 Sprinter.

    You might want to look into Ford Transit as the have a 130" and 148" wheelbase model and 3 roof heights. Quigley is doing the 4x4 conversion. For comparison an old style Ford Econoline Van wheelbase is 138"

    Ford Transit Quigley vs Sprinter 4x4?

    At least the Quigley has a manual transfer-case (50/50 split front rear) which simplifies the drive train a bit. The low range is also lower as well.

    E350 rear leaf springs

    You could add a leaf and or get a second leaf with full wrap on the front and half wrap on the rear eye. The full wrap adds some safety if the main leaf breaks. Check with a spring shop. A new set of springs will probably ride better than old springs with an add a leaf.
