So far I have 5 17x7.5 ORP wheels and an RCI skid plate and will be running 255/80R17 tires.
I have been reading threads on here for months and have myself confused on what to do for a lift. Some of the threads are a few years old so I'm not sure if there are newer players that have immerged as the go to.
Like I stated above I would like a 2.5-3 front and a 1.5-2 rear lift. I'm fairly set on running Camburg upc's but lift part I'm all over the board. I live in MN with salt so I want to stay with something that will be somewhat corrosive resistant and won't have the 4runner lean when I'd done. Budget is 3-4k for parts.
Looking for advice and what has worked well for members. Thanks in advance for the guidance!

Due to the suspension geometry, a 1" spacer at the top of the strut on the front results in about 2.5 to 3.0" lift. You want more than that?
For the rear, though it is 1:1. A 1" spacer at the top of the rear spring results in 1" lift.
I have the Rough Country leveling kit: about 1" spacer on the front (3" lift) and 1" spacer on the rear. Front spacer is aluminum, so won't corrode, and rear spacer is hard rubber, again, no corrosion.
