So to clarify...
No need to add panhard bar bracket?
No need to add diff drop spacer?
About to buy this thru Wheelers Offroad. BTW cheapest Tundra TRD coil is 191.00 w/o shipping per coil.

IMO, no need for a panhard drop bracket
50/50 if your CVs will begin to leak, but the angle will be fine without a drop kit.

you should never do a panhard drop bracket if it can be avoided - it lowers your roll center and is a detriment to handling.
that said, if your panhard isn't level (doesn't matter how much lift you have), you should add a panhard lift bracket to level it; it raises your roll center (good) and reduces sway when the suspension loads/unloads.

On the leaky CV’s - one of my boots started to leak shortly after putting 99 talls up front.
The factory clamps they have on them suck. I pried mine off and replaced it with a marine grade hose clamp - costs more but is stainless and has slightly rounded edges so it won’t dig in to the rubber
Also before doing that I shot some more Moly grease in there by using a needle attachment on the grease gun and slipping it under the boot edge.
It’s been good for the 1.5+ yrs since

So I guess I didn’t do enough research before I bought these 5100s. I decided to try out the shocks with stock springs because I didn’t wanna lift it at all. These are the 4runner specific 5100s and Turns out the front gets lifted about an inch on the “stock” setting So it sits higher than the rear. What’s the best way to get this leveled without lifting it more? 99 springs front and rear since that’s a 1 inch lift?

It shouldn't lift with the 4Runner specific 5100's. Did you make sure the c-clip was on the lowest setting? Did you install the spring perch the right way? What is the exact part number(s) on the 5100s you installed? Did you install anything else at the same time in the front?
I used 4Runner specific 5100s on the second from the bottom perch with a small top plate spacer and got the exact lift expected.

What are your current hub to fender measurements and what are you going for?

I have to do measurements, I’m looking for the least amount of lift leveled out

King 2.5 Ext 600lb up front with some preload removed (10 threads exposed?) and no added weight gave me about 2"
OME 906 in the rear finished giving me the 2" I needed to sit nearly level (sitting on King 2.5 w/res).
Added a dual rear swing out bumper and fuel jug so I opted for OME 890. Gained about 1/2" over the 2" total I got above stock height.
Rides stupidly smooth both with no weight and the 906 and with weight added on the 890.
