I used FJ springs + 5100s all the way around set at .85 (2nd notch) on a 2003 V8 4x4. I ended up with about 1/2" more lift in the rear than I expected (1 full inch of lift). So with my .85 setting I got a total of 1.5" FRONT and 1" rear lift and I'm still at 1.5" rake (2" stock). I'd like to be between 1/2"-1" so I'm still debating on going up 1 notch in the front.
On paper......my measurements are 35.5 FRONT and 37 REAR. If I go up 1 notch in the front it should add 1" and give me 36.5 FRONT and 37 REAR. Sounds about right.
I can barely tell you have the "bro lean" or reverse rake. Can't be that much. I'm thinking I can go up 1 notch up front and get by without adding a rear spacer but im not sure.
Most of these swaps are difficult to compare because the majority of people I've seen doing the swap are 2wd or v6. The v8 is a little heavier up front and we get less lift.

Sorry, but I neglected to get measurement before the install. I was in a hurry to get this done before leaving for vacation with my runner loaded down with about 400lbs of gear plus 4 people. Currently with the 5100's stock springs all around and a Daystar 1.5" coil spacer here's my measurements. My runner is a limited V8 model
Front - 35.5"
Reaer - 37"
Here's a pic as she sits now.
