I felt like 2.5" of lift up front wasn't enough with 2" in the rear - I think it was the right call to go up a notch and get the full 3" up front. Ride is great. Maybe a bit firmer than the stock coils.

Keep in mind, he has a slimline bumper and winch up front, adding some weight.

All non-LT kits are $790.
I don't believe they sell UCA's so pick your own flavor.
The price on these are very competitive and the reviews I've read so far are almost all positive.

The 4Runner only has two coils you have to pay for. What’s the adjustable pan hard rod though?

You need 4 coils (as they are listed b/c that’s what they call springs in Australia). Two to go over the front struts to make the front “coil over” and two to pair with the rear shocks (replace your OEM Springs). An adjustable pan hard rod helps keep the rear axle centered. As you lift your 4runner the geometry changes and can push your rear axle out of alignment (with the OEM fixed length panhard rod. Under 2.5 inches of rear lift you may not notice a difference or need it but over that height it will help lining everything back up.

Some notes from mine that might help folks deciding whats needed/not needed on different set ups.
Went 302/505 springs with 700/701 shocks and UCAs. Stock wheels and falken 265/70r17 didnt need spacers with plenty of clearance with UCAs and no rubbing anywhere. Have the diff drop but probably wont install unless CVs start going. Only weight added is RSG sliders. Alignment was dead on and no issues. For install the passenger UCA didnt have enough space between the bushings to fit so had to grind a few millimeters, not sure if that will cause issues later. Also nut to attach abs sensor wire was missing. Other than those two issues everything was pretty easy.
Final result is 4Runner that no longer has the nose dive and sloppy sway but still very comfortable to drive. Noticeably softer than my OME'd tacoma. Drove very well on some bad roads this weekend and should be a nice set up for daily driver during the week and mild off roading on the weekends.

I’m going with the same set up; order delayed because of choosing red coils. Same tires too.
How’s the rake? I’m on the fence about changing the rear coils to the 325s (2 - 2.25”). Just in case I add a heavier fuel tank skid. Would that look odd with 265 tires?
Thanks!

CURRENT SETUP:
c59-302 Front
c59-723 Rear
Decided I'm really not into the rake for several reasons. Least important but, most annoying to me is the way it looks. So, I'm going to accelerate the changes to the front end, and hold off on other armor.
Not really sure which one (everything is a compromise one way or another) but I'm going to put a steel bumper and a winch. Likely C4's hybrid.
@ DobinsonsUSA
I rather like the height in the rear and I would like to level the front to match the rear (also compensate for KDSS lean i still have up front).
C59-726 paired with a LT strut like the 5100? Could I keep the front springs (assuming I don't add the steel and winch) on my current setup swap out the struts for 5100's and bring it up a notch or two? What are my options here?
Thanks

Just put on a full steel rear bumper with all the addons. That'll level it out.

It's a thought. Could just sag the rear really bad causing me to swap the rear springs and then go back full circle to the same dilemma.
Also I'm going to go custom tube in the rear most likely. I'm not ready to be without my truck ATM.

Here's a question I have 5100's already.If I went with same setup he has but left the 5100 at 1st notch would I achieve the same look as his? I want a level look with as little rake as possible.

You probably need to add about 1" of lift to the front to make it more level, so however many clip heights that is, about 1/2" above where the coil seat is now will make it about 1" taller in the front. You could do that with your current coils without extra front weight.
Then if/when you do add more weight, yeah, use the 726 coils up front.

Hello! I’m running the c59-729 on my 2015 4runner with king shocks, c4 rear bumper and it’s pretty stiff. You think I should get the 727?

You're running the 729 with only a rear bumper?!?! Why such a stiff spring with so little weight?
That seems completely wrong for the application
