Damn I guess I'm out of luck then. Thanks for the response.

Maybe look at going a little lower with the boss kit? I have third row and only got the advertised 1.5" from the SAW coils (others have come out higher), spring rate is the same as the ones that come with the full kit and cost difference is negligible. I have 265's and a CMG rack so not sure if that height would even work for the lift, just tossing out an idea.

You could deflate your tires every day when you get there, and fill them back up when you leave... just putting out all your options.

lol, it would however give you an excuse for on board air and possibly a dual batt. setup!
My 2014 trail with Toytec Boss including the heavier rear springs has the CBI rear bumper with the spare carrier, Shrockworks front bumper and sliders. I am running 285/70r17 Duratracs.
The highest portion is the factory installed side rail roof rack the rear most portion. it is 76", accurate to within 1/4"

Another option. Get used (half worn out) tires.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am wondering if there are anything out there that has hydraulic controlled spacers and such. Sort of like what they have in higher end sports cars that we can push a button to have the car change ride height while still being strong enough to take the abuse of some trail running? I can only find ones that are built into a full system of shocks which doesn't seem to quite work for what we would use our cars for.
The reason I was inquiring about the Stealth rack is because I want to add a lightbar on the front of the roof rack too.

What about the baja rack, i thought i saw a video of some eletric adjustment for a light bar on it? It could fold the light bar down, that might have been for fj's though. Havent seen any ride height adjsutable setup for 4runners.
I searched and according to the fj forum those motorized light bars arent made anymore but it was mounted to a baja rack. Ask them, could save a few inches.

I am new to this suspension lift game but I think I am close to finding an alternative for guys wanting roof racks with lights, 3 in lift and larger rubbers.
these veriable ride height cup systems just might work. Will have to make some inquiries if they will fit truck suspension.
VRH Lift System
It certainly looks interesting. Thoughts?

Leave that kind of stuff to show vehicles. There is one part that aftermarket height adjustable suspension NEVER takes into account, the alignment. You can only align our trucks as it sits one way. Once you make any kind of adjustment, front or rear, it needs to be aligned again. Yes, even adjusting the rear ride height recommends an alignment. Adjusting rear ride height also affects the caster of the front end. Minimal, but it still does.

Aha. Thanks for the insight. learning new stuff every day
I knew there must've been a reason that not many offload vehicles sport this type of adjustable system, this makes sense.
