I bought the struts pre-assembled by Toytec at a 2.5” lift. I just went out to look, and I saw three rings on the shock bodies. I assume that means my shocks are at the lowest setting. I hope that’s the setting for the most lift, not the least!

I like how it looks. It’s not a huge difference from my Daystar 2.5/1.5 spacer setup, but the difference in the rear is noticeable because of my worn out old springs.

I haven’t driven on the new suspension yet, so I won’t know for a while. I went with the 5100s because I don’t do enough off-roading to justify the 6112/5160s. I’m also going to install higher caster UCAs, put the front sway bar back on, and get an alignment done before I drive it.

2005 v6 4WD

Before:
DSF/PSF 18 4/8" / 19 1/8"
DSR/PSR Forgot to measure

After:
DSF/PSF 21 6/8" / 22 1/8"
DSR/PSR 22 6/8" / 22 7/8"

I think my old suspension must have been really sagged because it looks like I got 3" or more, but the numbers I have other people achieved with 2" lift kits. Actually, I originally got 4", but after 20 miles of driving and an alignment and settling, it lost about an inch.

Bilstein 5100s all the way 'round with the front on the lowest setting. Wheeler's T1s up front and Bilstein springs in the rear, with lean correction spacers both up front and in the rear.

What's good guys , I am a new-b here from So Cal .. I own an 06 V6 4runner I put together with various parts for a budget build all bought off Offerup.. not kidding .. everything from the truck itself, to Toyota 2013 touch screen stereo mod, yakima roof rack , nerf steps, to led headlights and rigid armor swing down tire mount all sourced on offerup.

But back to topic... I really like the lift so far but it's bugging me a lil because it's not completely even/level. Here are my current parts and specs;

Front: 4x4 2022 Taco TRD shocks with KSP 1" Leveling kit/spacer

Rear: 5100 bilstein with shock spacer and unknown springs from an 07 FJ "not stock". I think the springs are 1.5" or 2" springs.

After install:
front L/R, 24" from hub to fender.

Rear L/R, 23" from hub to feder

I really want to level the rear to match the front. Anyone have suggestions? From what I could tell from reading this thread, people are going with the toytec rear springs to achieve 24 inches. Is this the best route to level the truck? Maybe rear spacers? I would appreciate any advice..
