If it's free, I say go for it.....just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean you won't like them. I was just sharing what happened when I did mine. If they sag you can also use the helper airbags to level off the rear.

They should replace them for sure, not that it is worth anything but if cheverolet ever replaces anything for warranty they guarentee it for life. Also for reference I have a 99' SR5 and I just replaced the springs because they were sagging so if you buy springs go with a new set. I put Downey 2" in the rear and 4runner barely sits higher in the rear. However they cost about $200. The stock shocks fit fine but they were not dampened enough for the higher spring rate. The back end became a pogo stick, so if you have worn shocks you will probably be buying those as well.
