Just a bit of clarification. A fox 2.5 vs 2.0 - the number is a reference to the shock piston diameter. So a fox 2.5 means the size of the shock piston. Fox 2.5 and 2.0 front coilovers can be set at any height from stock to 3 inches of lift or more. So you could use either the 2.0 or 2.5 shocks and have a lift height at 2 inches.
There's very little information on the 2.0 fox shocks for the 4Runner. I think they're a bit too expensive for what you get. The 2.5's are a big step up into the next grade of shock and they're a lot more popular because they're competitively priced with similar offerings from others. With some minor variation - all of the 2.5 inch shocks from Fox, King, SAW, ICON are basically the same. Pick your favorite color.
For something less than that - the Bilstien 6112 are a pretty solid option that a lot of people like with a lower cost. And I wouldn't count out a twin tube shock either. Some of them can ride pretty nicely and work really well if you don't need to do high speed desert runs. Dobinsons, ARB, and others offer some pretty good stuff that is not too expensive and works well for most people's use.
Good luck.
