Small lift with good rake
Was wondering what is the best recommended small lift with nice rake for 3rd gen t4r. Was looking at about 1 inch taller than stock in the front and about an 1.5 to 2 inch lift taller than stock in the back. Suspension is all 1999 stock.

Was thinking Bilstein 5100 shocks for the front. For the rear, Daystar coil spring spacers 1.5 inch along with Bilstein 5125 shocks. Is this a good way to go?

Do mostly city and highway driving with accessional offroad driving on the weekends. Thanks!

Spacer lift would be alright. Another option you could look at would be the 881 coils up front with shocks of your choice and maybe some 890s out back with the 5125s. You're already 1" higher than most stock 4runners because yours is a 99. So technically the 881s would give about an inch to inch and a half up front and the 890s would give you about two to two and a half inches out back. Just another option to look at.

I've got an SR5.
Heard coil spacers can cause ball joint and cv boot damage? Want to do the small lift and nice rake in a way that will not decrease the lift of the runner

Take a look at the last link in my signature. That was my first one. I had '99 tall springs with 1/4" top hat spacers up front and OME 906's with 10 mm trim packers in the back. It was the perfect little lift for a daily driver IMO.
