Help me think through this lift I'm about to install

[fblainen11]

So, I've been having all the stuff to do my lift install for about a year and a half. It's been crazy, new kid, moved twice, and flooded twice. So, I'm finally able to get some time to do it this week.
What I've got:
Rear- New 99 tall springs for the rear, 1.5" Daystar spacer, 5100 shocks
Front- OME 880, Daystar 1" spacer, tundra 5100

My current measurements are 19.625 (front driver), 19.5 (front pass), 19.5" (back driver), 19.75 (back pass).
So right now I'm probably riding pretty much level. That's a pretty small margin.

The rear lift should give me 2.5" total.
The front should give me between 2.25-2.5" total.
This means I'll keep the 5100s on the lowest ring, correct?

Thoughts? I know, I know, I know... spacers bleh, but from what I've read they aren't bad for that small of a lift.

I am running 880's with a 1/4 spacer on a oem type front shock I have about 2" or so front lift. So you you should get 2.25 to 2.5" on your front setup. Yes at the lowest setting.

Wait.....you have a 1"spacer. That would almost double when installed. I would say closer to 3" on the front then.

I would ditch the spacer on the front and just run the spring on the proper perch on the 5100 to get your desired lift height. Not sure which perch is correct, as I don't really keep track of all these bilstein/spring option installs, but I'm sure the info you need is out there and I wouldn't run a spacer lift on my worst enemy's truck.

Hmm, damn looks like you're right. I thought I was getting a 1" lift....not a 1" spacer.

So the rear will only add the actual spacer height, but the front doubles?

So, should I just forgo the spacer and put my struts on 2nd or 3rd notch? Second notch says .65 and 3rd notch is 1.3"

This is what I have: site:toyota-4Runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/

According to Wheelers it will give me 1.25"

That should put me very close to level.
If I just the strut to get me lift I'll be too high or too low.
