With the basic kit, you can keep your stock CV axles. I can't imagine going this big without upgrading the steering rack so $7700 to fit 37" tires.

That sounds about right. It's a pretty complicated setup. But it's been well sorted. Mike has been wheeling the white truck with that setup for 3 or 4 years now. It's been through a lot of iterations by now. In general Marlin is slow to release new products. But when they do - they're very good.
The biggest issue I see is that the rear end doesn't have enough clearance to keep up with how much they get up front. I think the RCLT would perfectly with a rear Mark's 4WD axle. It wouldn't be cheap. But it would be pretty ridiculously capable without having to run huge tires.
Diamond axle/Front Range Off Road did a pretty similar setup on a 3rd gen 4Runner that's also pretty great. I'm sure they could also custom build a similar system for a 5th gen. The 3rd gen was running a 5th gen front IFS setup.
