Here's what I'm doing and looking to gain out of this lift:
I have a 2003 SR5 V6 with 120k and currently ready to install front moog fj springs, bilstein 5100s front and rear shocks, and airlift 1000 rear bags. I've been waiting to purchase rear springs, but I am uncertain to what is going to work the best.

Here are the options I'm considering :
1.) Front: FJ springs + shocks at .85" and Rear: 1.5" SAW springs.
2.) Front: FJ springs + shocks at 1.75" and Rear: 1.5" SAW springs.
3.) Front FJ springs + shocks at 1.75" and Rear: 2.0" ICON springs

I'm looking to get as much lift as I can without running into differential angle problems and alignment problems. Since I have the v6 and I am using Moog FJ front springs and not OEM fj front springs, I think I will be seeing 1"-1.5" in the front without factoring in the shock lift. Is that about right? My question is what sounds like a better option to run with the fj coilss in the front and finally what rear coils would be best to match this? Im okay with slight rake or completely even. Would option (3) be pushing my limits on the UCA ?
Also: the airbags are for towing my aluminum boat once in a while.

Thanks!

Interested in seeing the feedback on this. I don't have enough posts to start a thread, but had the exact same question last week.

For the time being, and to save some money, I went with the Moog rear coils for a 4runner and a 1.5" spacer. Haven't installed yet, but I from what I can gather it will even it up nicely with the Moog FJ front springs, as well as stiffen up the rear just a tad.

Yeah for a while I was posting non stop in the suspension/FAQ forum but people just stopped answering. I didn't get rear moog FJ springs because of the fitment problem, though I probably could just cut off 1/2" of that spring like everyone else. Oh well. I really want 2" in the back but I know I can't set the front at 2.5" and I am super uncertain what the 1.75" setting in the front with a moog fj coil is going to provide me. Right now I am leaning towards the 1.5" SAW since many boast it's more like 1.75" all said and done. Gonna let this thread sit for a few days and gather some responses then I'll order them and let you know what I end up doing.

I did the Wheelers T12 rear springs. They are their replacement for the SAW 1.5 lift coils. I'm pretty happy with them. Here's my post with pic and measurements.
Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

I couldn't decide what I wanted in the rear either.

I ended up with the 1.5" Daystar on stock coils for ~$30. In retrospect, I feel this is a good combination with the bilstiens in the rear.

If choosing between those two springs, I'd prob. choose the Wheeler's myself

I just installed Icon Overland springs... they are listed as 3" lift, but also 2" when fully loaded with bumper, spare tire carrier, gear, etc. There are pics on the Icon site showing unladen and laden FJ here...ICON 4Runner Overland Series 3" Lift Rear Coil Springs

You can see what my 2007 looks like with the 3" springs in my build thread...
Sunpilot's 4Runner Official Build Thread... I should note, there is no spare tire or any extra gear on my vehicle yet. I will be putting bumpers, etc. which will settle it down to, hopefully 2".

I'm creating a new thread cause my real problem is figuring out what the 1.75" setting with moog front fj coils is going to provide me. If this is over 3" I'll go to the .85" and get the 1.5" T12 in the rear but if this is around 2.75" in the front then I'll go with the icon in the rear.

Not sure what the actual lift amounts ended up being, but could maybe reach out to them and ask.
