It’s as ok as lifting a rig ever is.

How does this statement take into consideration the low height of the 2001-2002 4Runners? For example, if I put on a 1999 coil + 1.5" spacer on my 2002 truck I would arrive at +/- 2.5" lift over where my 2002 started, but only 1.5" over where the 99 started. Would the stock length shock be OK in this situation? Is the general statement of 0"-2" of lift OK with stock shocks apply to the tall 1999 springs or not?
Reason I bring this up is that I was looking at lengths on RockAuto today and noticed that the KYB KG54317 is listed as a collapsed length of 12.95" and an extended of 20.12". The Bilstein 24-249966 (Their 2" lifted rear) is listed as a collapsed length of 12.91" and an extended of 20.79".
If the Bilstein really only offers an additional .7" of droop over the KYB KG54317, then the KYB is a nice option for those only looking to adding 1"-1.5" of lift, such as adding a '99 tall spring to a 2000-2002 4Runner. Or even adding a 10-20mm trim packer and '99 tall spring to a 2000-2002 4Runner. The Bilsteins are considerably more expensive than the KYB.
