Hi all,

Sorry to revive an old thread but I don't have enough net cred to start a new one...

I have a 2015 4runner trail. At the moment I have installed a Victory 4x4 full roof rack and a Thule Tepui Autana 3 roof top tent (rack and tent about 150-160 lbs). Inside I have a GooseGear (style) platform (about 40 lbs). During the summer I have an Iceco VL45 refrigerator (45 lbs) mounted on an Iceco slide (about 30 lbs). Empty weights. Also during the summer I carry food and water for one person, and miscellaneous things that probably weigh in at 100 lbs or less. Front of the rig has a hidden winch mount (SDHQ) and a Warn VR Evo 10s.

I have bilstein 5100s in the front set at 2.5 inches, stock front springs. Money was an issue so I went with 1.5 inch spacers and some eibach shocks (stated for 0-1 inch of lift) in the back. It was good until I installed the fridge and plate, then sagged in the back by about a half inch.

Money became less of an issue and I upgraded to Icon 52700 2 inch rear springs, same shocks. At that time I had removed the fridge for the winter, but installed the rack and tent. Was just level. I didn't want to put the rest of the gear in the rig and have it sag again, so....

I pulled them and installed the Icon 52800 3" overland springs. They ended up lifting the vehicle over 4 inches over stock. I immediately knew I didn't have enough shock, so....

I installed the 56505r Icon shocks (1-3" lift with remote reservoir). Shock problem fixed. However, as soon as I installed the overland springs I noticed a driveline vibration between about 20 and 35 mph. So...

I installed Icon adjustable rear upper control arms. Set them to about 3/8 of an inch longer than stock. The vibration is better but I can still feel it.

Now the fun part. Am I seeing far more lift from these springs than I should? I'm still sitting at about 25.5 inches from center of the hub to the fender in the back. I measured a stock 4runner and it was about 21 inches, so still 4.5 inches lift after about 3 weeks and 1,000 miles to settle in. I know I'm not really loaded down right now, but Icon says unloaded they should net about 3 inches of lift. Secondly, am I being totally over sensitive about the vibration? I mean it's very slight, but this thing is my baby and my OCD is on fire. I know the springs are stiff, but I don't want to swap them back out...

Sorry for the long read, I'm trying to get all the info in there at once.
