Getting the Wheeling Fever
The front springs on my '81 longbed have gone over the center...given I don't have a lift kit and don't want one, what are my options?

JC Whitney has some decent stock height springs (although apparently rear only). Or you can get a set of ~2" OME lift springs.

This 4Runner has the 2" OME springs and shocks installed, hardly looks lifted:

I second the 2" OME. If you want less expensive options, look into 2" Downey.
