The dealer has taken the 4 runner all down to the lowest setting and the issue went away we currently have it back to the second setting on the front strut. I have not had any issues yet. The stock springs are also back on the rear. From what we can tell the yaw sensor is getting out of it set parameters and that is what was causing all of the issues. My 4 runner looks wounded at its current height so much so that my 4 year old told my wife that we no longer have a monster truck. But the family is safe. I will keep you updated.

I just had 5100's set at 2.5" installed with rear 1.5" lift coils in the back, I made sure the dealership had their head Toyota tech put the stuff on. So far so good no issues.

May be my issue is that I did the 2.5" and have 2" rear springs so my ride rake is messing with the yaw sensor????

Ya maybe I actually ended up with just a bit of reverse rake, when I took it in I told them about this all they said is after it was installed they would wait to see if any lights came on but they never did. I think that they might have hit one of your sensors on the install or one possibly went bad, but then again you said it was fine once you lowered it. I hope everything works out for you.

I put the 285/70/17 Duratracs on but they rubbed too much so I went with the 265/70/17 and they still rubb but I still have a little more trimming to do. Hope you don't have the issue like me, I love the lift, ride, look and clearance it is perfect for us.

Finally installed my Bilstein Height adjustable front and matching 5100 Rear shocks, Rear 2 inch lift Toytec superflex rear coils. Took it to Firestone and had the alignment c/w. It rides great so far and I got lucky and didn't get crazy dash lights. My front is sitting at 37.5" both sides and my back is at 39.5" both sides. Figured with the front shocks set to 2.5 and the rear 2" rise coils it would be closer to level but I guess not. Install was easy except for the KDSS, which made everything just a tad tougher.

Ok so here is an update. After we put the stock rear springs on and set the front to the 2nd position on the shocks we have not had any issue that I know of. The issue is if we load the back with gear we have so much sag in the rear end the lights blind other drivers. I had a wild hair and asked the shop to reinstall the 2" springs and the issue came back. So they adjusted the front up to see what it would do. If you click the link you will see the issue. Any ideas?

That's due to a bad zero point calibration. Quit accepting that the same dealership that has done it wrong multiple times is resetting it properly. Take it somewhere else or do the zero point calibration yourself (I know you can manually reset on Tacomas, assume you can on the 4Runner also).
I've lifted 3 different Toyotas (2 Tacomas, 1 5th Gen 4Runner), 3 different ways - never had that problem. The shop that does the install is resetting the zero properly...
Take it somewhere else.
