When should coil springs be replaced? I read online they last 5-10 years based on how rough/miles.

Totally depends on the quality of the spring in the first place. The coils in my 1981 Olds Cutlass were completely shot after a few years, less than 100k miles. The Icon and OME coils in my FJC are still holding everything up with no sag after 16 years and 250k hard miles. I have coil springs in magazines that are older than that and still functioning fine.
 
04 Land Cruiser and 05 4Runner.

I’m curious because I had the front struts changed on the 4Runner and it significantly improved the ride and stance.

Both are under 100k miles and pretty much mall queens. All original OEM. Don’t want to throw money away though.
 
If they're sagging, really rusty or broken, then obviously it's time for new ones. Otherwise, they could last indefinitely.
I have the stock springs on my '97 LX with 200K miles and they seem just fine.
