Yeah, the OME price is per coil. I got about 2.5" or so out of my OME's, on my badly sagging rear end. I knew I needed more than 1.5" of lift, like the Downey's, and I was kind of counting on the OME's to give me more than that, and they did! I couldn't be happier with my choice of OME over Downey. Not that Downey is bad in any way.

Ive had the downeys 1.5's and the allpro's and the downeys were downright scary the rear end did what ever it wanted. the allpro's are more stable even with the swaybar disconnected. Ive nevr used ome's but my cruiser guys love them.

The Downey spings come with a brackett and brake line (a $40 value I think) which is why they are more. Personally I like the HD Downeys because I can go to grandmass house with bikes, subwoofer, and some gear without having my a$$ drag the whole way. Mine sags a much as an empty stock 4runner with all that crap in it.

I cannot attest to what OME's will do for you, but Downey 1.5s lifted my 4Runner's saggy rear 2.5". Before and after's on my thread:

I towed a big tandem box trailer over the weekend and saw a major difference. When I towed it with the original springs it made my truck look just plain silly, not to mention how horribly it handled with it's front end in the air. The Downey's kept the truck darn near level, and improved handling 100%.
