Double checking suspension

I know I know, it's been said a million times before, but I should have things on their way and want to rest my weary little noggin' with some back up here.

I have a set of Tundra TRD struts on their way once the salvage yard sends pics to confirm yellow/ yellow and yellow/ blue. Once these are here, can I use the Rough Country 9000 4Runner shocks with those coils? or do I order a Tundra shock?
These are supposed to give roughly 2.5" of lift up front. I have another yard checking on a set of LC 7wraps for the rear, so the Rough Country 9000 should be good there, since they are separate pieces. this is supposed to give roughly 3" out back. thinking of ordering my shocks from Wheelers, and they mentioned a couple of top plate spacers that are about 1/4" which they said will give between 1/4"- 1/2" rise up front to level things out nice and even.

Am I missing anything?

You don't need Tundra shocks, but make sure the Rough Country's are for a lifted application. Also the Tundra will give you ~2" or less alone. I highly suggest getting some 1/2" or the 1/4" spacers or 5100's to bring it up a bit more. I suggest the 5100's because they will ride great and probably be around the same price once you get shocks and spacers.

The 7 wraps will be more like 3.5-4" at least, so you will have some rake. Just make sure you have top plates for the front and you should be fine with just that for now. The Tundra Coil Isolators are recommended, but not absolutely necessary.

Awesome. Yea, the Rough Country shocks are for 3" more than normal, so I figure add in a couple spacer plates, and I think I am golden:rockon:

Not sure what the isolators are, not noticed any mention of those before?

They are the rubber discs that go between the coils and top plates. The Tundra ones are bigger and cover the coils a little better, but people use the 4runner ones with no issues.
