You want UZN (V8)...215 (4WD); GRN is the V6.

The OEM spring is on the same page as the rear shocks in the link I posted above...it's under product assemblies. You just click on the diagram to get the part number

As for the advantages of going w/ OEM springs, I couldn't tell you since I'm not running them. I haven't seen anyone with a GX run them but there are 4Runner guys running them. Try and search around on some 4Runner sites and see what they say.

Has anyone done any towing with the conversion to springs? I was wondering if the rear of the truck sags much with a heavy trailer attached? I pull a 4,800lb trailer/car about once a month in the warm months.

I was skeptical about making this change, but the ride is much improved. It actually takes bumps well and rides smooth. The rear is higher but I'm told it will settle over time.
