Thats because the rear fenders are cut about 2" lower than the fronts, giving it the "mom butt" appearance.

Here is a pic of the family 4runner:


There is no sag on ours. Specs for suspension:
Front- factory shocks, urethane control arm bushings, new ball joints, Sway-A-Way 25mm torsion bars, factory alignment specs
Rear- Moog springs, factory shocks, urethane bushings
It probably would have been a tad higher if I'd gone with Bilsteins.

2) measure from top of tire tread, or tire to the lip of the wheel well (rear quarter) is about 6 3/4 -7 inches
Thought this might help for comparison. Anymore lift on our truck would compromise stability on the highway, for us. When I rebuilt the rear suspension, the new rear bushings in the control arms/lateral rod raised the suspension about an inch at least. The original bushings were shot with 60k original on them, albeit 20+ years of aging. Hope this helps.

Thanks!

I'm in the middle




I'm going thru the same rear end sag issue on my 95'! I have already purchased the Moog cc255 coils but, reading thru this thread it looks like I should be looking into spacers and shocks! Any rec's on the shocks?????
Thanks

Don't confuse sag with the fact that 1st and 2nd gens have smaller rear wheelwells. Measure frame height behind the front wheels and in front of the rears. Mine sits level although if u looked at it from the side you'd swear it was sagging. FWIW

I did springs and shocks, no spacers. I forgot to measure, but it looks to my eye to be about perfect (given the lower cut rear wheel wells). I would guess that adding spacers would give you a bit of a lift.

I just put cheap Monroe shock on (no serious off-roading for me).

It definitely takes bumps better, but the biggest improvement is in the reduced body roll in turns. Huge improvement!
