Where should I look for quality coils as I replace my air suspension? I'd be happy using Toyota coils and shocks. I need no height control and don't tow. Do I just leave the current shocks in place and replace the coils?

First of all, are you looking to stay at stock height or lift? If stock height, there's a few options on the ol' interwebs available.
For all-in-one stock height kits, you have Strutmasters and Metal-Tech. You can even piece together your own stock height kit with rear spring adapters and some stock height springs from Dobinsons.
If you want an OEM option, 4Runner and FJ Cruiser rear springs slip right in but you'll need upper isolators and possibly the lower conversion from Icon, Metal-Tech or others. Some complain the OEM option is a bit too soft so YMMV.
With all of these, you can absolutely run your current shocks. HTH

I want stock height. I’ve emailed metal tech. Are they the “Mac Daddies” ?
They're a respected name in this space. I haven't done business with them personally so I can't tell you anything about them being anyone's daddy.
