Update on the stage 1 kit, when I installed the kit I did the recommended front setting at the first clip thinking it would be more than enough but added a half inch cornfed spacer to the rear to get 1.5" in the rear but ended up with 2" instead. That resulted in a factory looking rake but lifted and wish I had done the second clip instead. I waited a few weeks to see if the rear would settle and it stayed the same. I was preparing for bigger tires from 265's so when I went to a shop to have my bmc done and I also had them change the clip setting. I had the second clip in mind but they encouraged the third clip instead as a buy once cry once and said f*** it let's do it (thanks stellar built) and I was also going to upgrade UCA's anyway. Long story short, the rig looked exactly how I envisioned it when I first installed the lift after changing it to the third clip. Factory looking rake is gone and is completely leveled for now until I start adding weight to the front.
This picture is deceiving because your horizon is crooked, making the front end look higher than it is. Take a look at your roof line compared to the top of the garage door behind it. It looks level with that line.
Have you measured from the center of hub to the bottom of fender on level ground? If so, what did you get?
After placing on my SCS wheels. I’ve noticed a more predominant amount of reverse rake. It’s actually kind of bother me now. I think I’m going to have to opt to get rear spacers. I’ll drive it a few more hundred miles to see if it’ll settle.
And yes you’re right. The photos don’t do justice, you have to see in person.
I’ll measure it soon when I have time

So I’m about to install the Eibach pro truck kit on my limited. I’m wondering what would happen if I add a 1 inch cornfed spacers to the rear. I have third row, would it be level or would it give me some rake? I don’t want reverse rake.

Limiteds don't sit 1.75" lower in the front than the back, right?
Best to take a tape measure and measure from the middle of your hub to fender both front and back. If the front is more than 1.75" lower than the rear, you'll retain a small amount of factory rake.
If the front is less than 1.75" lower than the rear, you'll sit nose high. If this is the case, your measurements will determine how big your spacer needs to be.

Lift look's great man.....That blue really shines!
Stage 1 is a spring with an adjustable clip shock. Min lift is 2.75
Stage 2 is a fully adjustable coil over. I think the range is 1” to 2.5”.
I bought the stage 1 shock and kept my factory spring for 1.75”. I tried to find a 2” spring but they weren’t worth the extra money.

I have the Eibach Pro kit installed on my 2020 and haven't had any issues at all with the TSS features.

The non adjustable rear? How long did you have it on for?
Yes, this kit: PRO-TRUCK LIFT SYSTEM (Stage 1) - TOYOTA 4Runner Base
Put 5,214 miles. Fronts already assembled.
Just got off the phone with Eibach, thanks for talking me through everything, Kevin @ Eibach! Super helpful.
With the sale going on, just ordered the Eibach Coilover 2.0 System instead of the Stage 1. Preassembled saves me shop labor and I like how adjustable it is and I can go lower in front.
Anyone running this system?

rear shock top washer
I installed the Eibach Pro Truck kit (with rear Icon 2" coils) this weekend and I'm definitely happy with the ride and overall look . During my install, I came across one issue. While tightening down the rear shock, I noticed the top washer and bushing sinking down into the frame. I undid everything and took out the washer. The (first) picture shows the shape of the washer that came assembled on the rear. I'm not sure if the wrong washer was provided or if I just deformed it by overtightening. I ended up using another washer (second picture) I found in baggy of extra parts sent but I think they were for the front struts. Can someone let me know if its possible to deformed the washer and if I'm using the correct replacement washer?
Thanks!

How do you adjust the snap ring on the stage 1 kit? I cannot find instructions anywhere!
Hey there guys... got this same system # E80-82-071-01-22 and I would like to make sure and Confirm what setting on front perch I would have to set at for a LEVELLED 4runner... if I leave it at the lowest perch I assume will have factory type rake? I am looking for a levelled look so which perch should front be set at?
