I used tractor links on my rear suspension. They be workin' great. Added jam nuts to eliminate wobble and increase life of the arms. G-D LH thread jam nuts on 1-1/8"x7 tpi ain't cheap though :(

4Runner....rears?
I heard there was a recall on sagging 4Runner coils so I went by the nearest Yota dealer and asked for a pair. They were free. They work great so far.
