1" budget boost plus 1.5" rear spacer?

Has anyone done this? Not to be confused with the daystar 2.5 front / 1.5 rear kit. I've done the 1" front spacer which netted around 2". As time has gone on I feel like the rear is too low.

Here is one I took right after. Need to get an alignment. Scheduled for Thursday. It's a pretty small lift forsure, but it's perfect for me, and pretty much 0 risk in any extra wear and tear on any of the components

Cool thanks for the photo. I think I do like that versus just the front end lift. I was reading through some older posts and someone mentioned using the daystar rear spacer for the FJ Cruiser because for some reason it is about half the cost of the one specifically for the 4Runner. Since the springs are interchangeable it would make sense that the spacers are too. Anyone have thoughts on this?
 
That's what I used. Got them off Amazon for $80 shipped. Front part number KT09117BK and rear part number KT09127BK. Super easy to install, from drive into garage to drive out took me maybe a hour and a half. I dident need to cut the studs like institutions say to do, the new studs went all the way down on the old ones.
 
If you get the FJ rear spacer, you'll need to install it above the rear spring isolater /bump-stop things, whereas the 4Runner spacer installs between the isolater and spring.Some people suggest trimming the bump stop slightly if you go this route. You'll see what I mean when you do the install, but that's the only difference.

And the budget boost will look fine, although it will maintain some forward rake.
 
Yeah mine installed above the bump stop, just as it would on the FJ. I did not cut my bump stop though, all seems to have fit very nice.
 
Interesting. Seems like you'd want it above the bumpstop anyway to maintain the spring to bumpstop ratio. A spacer between would mean more travel before hitting the bumpstop.
