Thank you :jump:

you kinda answered your own question, the rear shocks don't adjust, you'd need coil spring spacers

I just put Bilsteins on all around on mine and got .75 inches lift in the rear and 3 inches in the front for the 2.5 setting.

Unfortunately in the rear of the 4Runner you need to use a spring spacer or swap springs. A lot of people look towards FJ springs for slight lift (0.5-0.75"). Cheapest option is spacers, but those are ~1.5" lift.

Please tell us how you got lift in the rear from a damper that has nothing to do with ride height. The only way to get lift in the rear is to space the springs or install longer/different rate springs. But I look forward to your explanation.

I used the same springs and no spacer and got .75 inches lift in the rear. I got solid measurements on level ground and I can visually tell its higher now. I can't really explain why other than to say my old rear struts were shot (it was XREAS, got rid of it). I know they are just dampers but it must require some force to compress them so maybe thats it.
