2006 v8 occasional offroad lift recommendations?

[Jasonredwood]

I have the FJ coils in the rear with the 1.5" Cornfed spacers in the rear. Billstiens set at the lowest setting in the front.

The set up was fine for what we used it for in the past but we added a cargo/kitchen system in the rear and another dog and seems like more stuff.
The rear sag is too much now with a fully loaded 4runner, squatin like crazy.
I have 17" fJ steelies on the 4runner now too which are rubbing a tad bit on the fenders and upper control arm.

I swap out the coils for progressive coils by OME in the rear and set the bilstiens a lil taller but probably would ride a bit rougher and the rub would still be there.

The 4runner is mainly used running around town and is street bound 90% or more of the time. Would like a lil more lift and street comfort, but still adequate for easy/moderate offroad. Any recommendations?

What amount of lift are you looking for and how much weight are you carrying?

I've got the OME BP-51 setup with about 2.5" on my '06 V8 sport. When I was deciding on what setup to get I was told in regards to the OME Nitrocharger Sport lift kit vs the BP-51 "The BP-51 kit will offer a better ride without sacrificing control with big loads or unexpected impacts. They are also adjustable so you can set the feel to fit your personal preference."

Been about 3 years and still runs great on pavement, offroading that I have done (Colorado, Wy, some Utah, Nevada, and Eastern Sierras of CA), and tows the trailer like it's not even back there. For me rubbing was resolved by switching to the TRD Pro rims for a better offset and removing the front mudflaps. (I'm only running BFG KO2 275/70/17 so more might need to be done for different rubber.)

Just finished about 4k mile trip from Co out to Ca and back. Mostly interstate with some mixed off road. (washboard, FS Roads, and a bit of beach). If this setup fits your budget I think you would find that it fits your needs.

From what I hear the hardest part may be finding someone with the parts in stock these days!

Does the cargo/kitchen system ride in the back all the time? If it does, you need bigger rear coils. If its only part of the time, you probably need progressive rear coils like what Dobinsons carries.

I'd approach it as figure out how much tire you want, then figure out what height of lift you need to run that tire and see who can support your rear weight at that height.
