I never tried those setting for a slightly lower front ride height, but I imagined it will do what you want for rake.
I know in my initial set up it was a very nice and a fairly level stance just the slightest small degree of rake when empty in the rear. I never measured it with the inclinometer, but it was a very nice stance. Itactually handled some gear pretty well. It's just when I loaded the whole family up and all the gear. It struggled a bit contacting the Duro bumps a lot. That's the only reason I went up in rear coils, and now it's very raked.....lol.
Once I get finished moving, I'm going to take a few weeks and tear apart the entire 4Runner. Next setup will be new lower arms since the bushings are junk, JBA uppers,the front 6112s up to the 2.3" setting to see where lands.
I think the direction you're taking it to make the front and work with the rear springs is a smart way to go. I do like the additional clearance from the rear bumps when I'm wheeling with the 890s, but there's no doubt that it's a very large jump in spring, and it certainly changes the vehicle handling dynamics. I never noticed the body roll before as it was pretty much fine, now I have an Eimkeith bracket sitting on the bench to be welded.
I still have a strong desire to go up to bigger tires than I have currently, but unless that's the goal, I think you have the right idea. Just lower the front a touch and call it a day.
