Where did you get your lift items from. I am looking to do the same setup you have.
Very nice yota you have there

I purchased parts separately over time but the body lift, rear coils and shocks were from toyteclifts.com. The front Bilstein shocks were from Wheeler's Off-road, and I ordered the tundra springs from Camelback Toyota.
Thanks for the compliments guys!

Possible bumper?
I've really wanted to get a bumper for the 4runner and I might get one now with some of my tax return. I like the 4xinnovations except for the winch access holes on the front. I know I can get it without them but I plan on running a winch later so I dunno. I'd also probably get it color-matched but haven't decided yet.
Anyways here's some quick cut and paste pictures I did on my phone to see what it would look like:

I'm obviously all about the mods. Yet, I like your 4Runner just the way it is. As mention above by Hepar ....... It's clean and IMO looks just right.
BTW.... The plated bumper options you're considering work nicely with the wheel, tires and lift and looks great as well. Can't loose either way.

Allpro Off-road Apex Bumper
Well, I finally decided on a bumper. I ordered the Allpro Apex bumper for a Tacoma knowing it would be a little more work to put on, but I liked the looks of it the best. I finally got around to mounting it and painting over the past two weekends thanks to the help from a friend. I also ended up removing my body lift in order to get it to fit without a big gap.
I debated on what color to paint it for a while but finally decided to try and color-match it. I went to a local auto paint shop and they mixed me up some thundercloud and put it in spray cans. I used self etching primer then sprayed the color and finished it off with a clear coat. I'm pretty happy with the results. I'll probably buff it out when it's completely dry. Next I'm gonna add fog lights and add an LED light bar on it.

It doesn't rub anymore with the new bumper. It rubbed on the stock bumper but could easily be taken care of with a little trimming. I'm also running 1.25" wheel spacers or else the tires wouldn't clear the upper control arm.

Bumper lights
I finally installed driving lights and a light bar a couple of weeks ago. I went with a 20" led light bar from Amazon that was only about $60. I also purchased a wiring harness and rocker switch to give it a cleaner look. The driving lights were from harbor freight.
Low beams vs light bar

Damn clean! Would you mind posting a link for your LED bar.. The price sure sounds right
Here you are: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EJFH6YA/ref=pd_aw_sbs_10?pi=SL500_SS115&simLd=1
So far it's been great for the price.
