1.25" wheel spacers will get you flush with the fenders on stock trail/trd off road/whatever theyre calling them now. I believe 1" is the minimum spacer you can use before you gotta trim the wheel studs. with wheel spacers and 285/70-17's expect to buy sawzall blades for the body mount.
kings are great. if you wanna abuse it, go for the kings/fox 2.5's/radflos/icon's/ome/bilstein 8100 etc. if its forest service roads, the setup above will be fantastic.

Thanks, this might be the sweet spot. What do you guys think of this package?
Fox 2.0 Performance Series Coilovers & Shocks Set for 2010-2022 Toyota – Shock Surplus
Are wheel spacers necessary? How about UCA?
Thanks!

UCA arent necessary with the fox 2.0 or bilstein 6112's. itll be noticeable if you add them later though. the extra castor feels nice on the highway. Dirt King Fabrication sells ball joint upper control arms with bushing pivots that are quiet and low maintenance (loosen the through bolt and grease them once or twice a year)

I ordered a set of black TRD Pro rims. Was thinking of going with 275s. Most likely Geolandars but the Wild Peaks are nice. From the reviews the Geos seem to be the best highway tire. Where I live there are just potholes and beaches to drive on. Most trails will scratch the hell out of a side by side let alone a truck.
My plan is to level it, 2" in the front and 1 inch in the rear. I believe a TRD Pro sits 1.5" higher in front and .5" higher in back than an off-road?

Thinking same thing.
Was thinking about the same thing. Had read somewhere anything over 2" in the front causes lean, correct?

Speaking with Westcott designs, they say I can go with their lift that is 3" front and 1.5" rear and there are no KDSS issues. This seems to be contrary to what I've read.
Is there a cheaper option that is similar quality to the King that allows me to adjust the lift?

I’m doing the same with IMS Dobinsons. 3.5” front and 1.5” rears from Exit off road and Mike didn’t say I would run into issues with the KDSS. But I did get the spacer kit and diff drop

The TRD PRO sits 1 inch higher in the front and the same rear ride height using the same rear springs(which determine rear ride height) in the rear as the TRD OR.
Sounds like you are just going for looks to match the TRD PRO and not really offroading it or getting super big tires , so complete new suspension is over kill .......unless money is not an object. I'm sure the aftermarket suspension companies would love to sell you a whole new suspension though .
You can put a 1 inch spacer (1/2" spacer gives 1 inch lift) in the front and match the stance of the PRO exactly. Like these ... Toyota 4Runner 1" Front Aluminum Leveling Lift Kit 2003-2019
Even though it says to 2019 ,They fit 22's as the suspension is the same as I just put Icons on my 22 and have lifted many 4runners.
That's what I ran years ago when I bought my first 5th Gen and there was no ride difference from stock and it aligned easily with stock UCA's .

I run bilstein 5100's in mine. 1.75" with a 1" rear spring spacer. They're work fine. It's no King setup tho, that's for sure.
I'd suggest just waiting and getting whta you want (Kings) as opposed to doing something now and then replacing. Buy once, cry once. Defintely true with King.

Does your 4Runner have kdss also? I have kdss and looking to get bilstein lift and people are telling me it won’t work because of my kdss

Who are these "people?"
Lifts work fine with KDSS. Just don't go too high with it.
One thing I have learned is to go with a progressive dampening. I have digressive Eibachs with my KDSS and hate them. Very rough.
