Lift height question after lifting
So I lifted my 2000 4Runner with Wheelers T1(Eibach) Front coils, OME 2890 Rear coils, Tundra Bilstein 5100's and it was supposed to be 3". I later discovered it was on the first perch of the 5100's, would that be 3 inches of lift? Then I got a 2" coil spacer from eBay now I don't know how much lift I'm running, is it 3"? 4"? Or the 5" I really want? Thanks!!
The picture with the stock 5 stars is where I only have the "3" inch suspension lift
The picture with the aftermarket SCS wheels is WITH the 2" coil spacer

So you added a front coil spacer and left the front on perch 1? If so you need to remove the coil spacer. Move the perch to 2-3. You dont want a spacer because if its a preload spacer it will cause excessive droop and if its a top out spacer it can cause the coils to stack during compression making you loose up travel.

We cannot tell with pictures.
What's the measurement from the center of the hub (center of the center cap) straight up to the fender?
a 5" suspension lift is going to ravage your CVs unless it's a drop bracket lift or spindle lift. You'll be much better off with a 3" suspension lift, and a 2" body lift.

Tundra 5100's with Eibach coils on the lowest perch is about 2.5in of lift.
If you added a 2in spacer on top of that then you should be close to 4.5in.
As others have said that is too much lift and will likely cause issues with your CV's, LBJ's, TRE etc....
You would probably be best going with a body lift if you want more than 3 inches.

I recently put a used set of 891s in my 02 sport 4Runner. It went from an a$$ dragging 19.5" to 23.5"  . Height measured from hub center to fender.

Down travel is as important as up travel. I don't know your truck and any other suspension mods you have done but from what you have shared that is waaaay too much strain on the FS. Did you at least loosen the LCA and UCA before install so you don't shred the bushings?

Yes I didn't know what I was doing🤷🏼*♂️ It'll probability cost me a pretty penny for my guy to take out the spacer and coil and shock and move the perch up to 3, then install a body lift but I think that's what I'm gonna do.

Hit up wheelers. They will know what perch toy need to run.

If you WILL USE THE SEARCH feature you will find it is extremely helpful and will hold 99 percent of the information your looking for. Most has been covered dozens of time. You will even find threads you could add to so the information is compiled in less areas.
As an example to show you I used the term simple term "3rd gen stock height" in the search box. In less then 15 seconds total time I found this thread titled
STOCK AND LIFTED RIDE HEIGHT
Stock and Lifted Ride Height
