They have agreed to change them out to the 1.75” setting for a more leveled look that I was going for. I don’t mind how it’s riding at the top setting and honestly feel, other than being nose high the ride is good and close to stock.

I was looking for an alternative to possibly just add 1-2” in the rear to level it out and keep it at 2.5”ish in the front. That’s when I came across the Eibach lift kit and this thread. If I were to start from scratch, think I’d just go with this kit. However, wondering about doing a mix-and-match with the front Bilstein 5100 at this point. I could either go with 5100’s in the rear and the Eibach spring’s or just do the Eibach shock and spacer, combined with the 5100 in front. Would this throw the ride off or cause any other issues? Think it would be level enough, as most people get 2.75” out of this kit in the front and 1” in the rear and report is as being level. Any significant advantages to just starting over with the total eibach kit? Really would like to stay away from UCA’s at this point, as the truck has <2k miles and I just really didn’t want replace more than necessary at this point. Like I said the Bilstein 5100 at the top setting feels fine at this point, tracks straight and steering is good on and off highway.

Other, maybe unrelated point, but if I were to just throw on the rear springs and shocks and not touch the front, would I need another alignment?

Standard and TRD PRO UPDATE:
Front springs are wound and now in grinding! Rear springs are a step ahead in shot peen, so provided they pass all three load / length tests throughout their manufacturing processes, these will be complete in about two weeks. I have personally reviewed the priority list and see all 4Runner products are at the top.

That is correct. You'll have 1.6" lift in the front and 1.0" lift in the rear. The springs are coated RED to match your originals.

Do you know if the front springs will be sold separately? I'd like to pair them with a larger lift option in the rear. Thanks.

That being said, I have 285/70 at3w on trd wheels with stock fox shock and I had to push liner forward and remove front mud flaps or they rubbed at full lock.
