In addition, I'd like to hold off on UCA's for a little bit as finances are tight, would I be able to have a good highway ride with this set up? I do plan on getting the diff drop to keep my C.V angles as well.

I haven't heard the greatest reviews of those Bilstein shocks.

Need to know what engine you have to confirm front springs. If you have a V6, those parts would give 2" front and rear and ride very well. I've sold lots of combos like that to guys up your way

If you lift the front and rear 2" each then you will maintain rake. If you want it more level then lift the rear less, like 1" less.

For 2" front lift you don't need UCA's or a diff drop kit. UCA's would get you a better alignment with more caster though if you choose to add them later.

Hey Mike! Thanks for replying!

I do have a v6, and I was going for a slightly leveled look. I'm not necessarily looking to eliminate all rake, as I occasionally load her up, but most of the time the only weight in the back is my subwoofer, and a bag of rock salt in the winter.

In terms of the UCA's that's great to hear. So in theory I should be able to get myself within alignment specs, right?

Thanks for all your help!

Ok, so I'd suggest 1.5" rear lift then.
C59-300
GS59-221
C59-505
GS59-705

You can add all of those and the options here:

Dobinsons 1" to 3.5" Lift Kit for Toyota 4Runner 4x4 2003-2009

And yes, you can get the alignment in spec no problem with stock UCA's at that height.

Thanks so much Mike!

Just put in my order!

It'd be great if you could post pictures when you get the lift installed. I'm looking at the same setup for my 07 but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
It would be appreciated!

Absolutely! Can't wait to see it, and drive it myself!

Huge thank you to @Crikeymike for prompt email responses to my questions and the amazingly fast shipping. Put my order in Tuesday and shipped the same day, had it in hand Friday!!

Looks great man!!! And you're more than welcome!!

What rear coil shall I choose ?
I have a 2004 V8.
4WD
4,515 lbs curb weight

For the Front I will use
C59-314
MRA59-A221

I’d like 2.5” front lift.

For the rear I’m second guessing what I should choose because I
Want 1” - 1.25” of rake (no more) after my rear bumper and tire carrier is installed.
but not loaded with luggage or gear in the cab (empty).

The bumper/carrier accessory is 140-200 lbs. +/-

For larger camping trips When I do load my roof rack, luggage, and "precious cargo” ,
I will have added about 550-600 lbs
I am fine with it being
Level with no rake when that load is added, (do not want reverse rake if it can be avoided under this load)

When we get to our destination and set up camp we unload besides essentials….
When we go out to offload together my family weighs 435 lbs. (including myself)
(285 lbs. not including myself). (They’re petite)

For the rear shock I’ll use
MRA59-A701.
What Coil = ?
Thanks
My Question is about the Rear Coil spring rate on the 675V & 677V in comparison to the stock coils:

I am also considering the rear 325 or 327 coils too, depending… :
I’m thinking 2.5”-3” rear coils will give too much rake.

I’m wondering if a 2” lift is better due to my load conditions and rake preferences. (1” - 1.25”)
Stock rake unloaded on mine is 2.25"
It would be ideal to have the front fender line about 1” lower than the rear fender line, but when fully loaded not reverse.

675V
677V
325
327

Hello! I have purchased a set from you guys a couple of months ago but I only got a chance to install it a month or so ago and wasnt driving the truck (07 v6 sport) until yesterday.

For the rear I got C59-677V + 559 long travel -- very happy with the way rear behaves.

For the front I went with C59-220 + C59-350 as per Mike's recommendation. I have installed the bumper (110 lbs) as of right now and the ride it terrible. It feels like I am riding a skateboard. The truck shakes on the speed bumps and I dont think I can live with that. The winch is going to be mounted soon (60 lbs?). Should I expect that it would make a difference? Is there a brake in period in which the springs would get softer? I am concerned how its going to ride of the pavement now.

Pic for attention with an unpainted bumper lol.

ALL BLACK EVERYTHING!!!! Looks great man!!

The C59-350 is a 730lb coil according to Mike... that's a hell of a beefy coil.



My buddy has OME 886 coils up front which is a 660lb coil and he's running a winch and ARB bumper. 730lb seems excessive for a CO bumper which is much lighter than a ARB.
