kind of depends. Do you have a coil spacer or a top plate spacer in there?

Umm, with a spacer, you can install new shocks and coils. Spacers can work in unison with new equipment like Bilsteins but they are not recommended because most shocks come with their intended dimensions/ratios and spacers can throw that off. It won't damage anything in my opinion though. I run a Daystar spacer lift with my Bilstein setup, FJ coils, and 3" BL. I have no issues and the spacers actually soften the ride a bit.
But in terms of the title, there is no limit with 4Runners.
The sky is the limit, no pun intended.

^^^that just screams "I have a little dick!!!"
"The sky is the limit." Or, more like your pockets.
If you want a functional 4Runner, one you don't have to worry about rolling over, or getting new drive shafts, or doing a SAS, then about 3" is the norm.
Now, couple that with a body lift of 3", your at 6 all together.
Like was stated before, you can go higher, just be ready to spend a metric shit ton of money for stuff you never thought you'd need.

You can get 5"-6" on rear coils with OME 861 or 851. The front is limited to about 3.5"-4" max. After that you have little to no droop and it'll ride pretty bad.
You could go with the taller coils and a body lift.
Now for the question, Why do you want 5.5" of lift?
Are you going to wheel it is it just for the road/looks?

3.5 inches is the most you can do in the front with just shocks, springs, spacers, coilovers etc. At 4 inches of lift, the front shocks are at full extension and you have no suspension droop left. 3 inches is the max recommended height since it will ride much better and the rest of your suspension will last much longer. Any more than that, you will start to burn through CV boots pretty quickly and you are going to put more stress on the shocks, ball joints, steering, yada yada yada.
Stacking spacers on top of coilovers, lift springs and/or shocks is never a good idea and will usually not work properly.
If you want more, You will need to do a drop bracket lift (Fabtech/BroComp) or a solid axle swap.
But like others have said, why do you want to go so high? I'm at 3.5 up front and 4.5 inches in the rear with a 2 inch body lift and i wish it was lower.

IMHO, throw in a body lift.

You're on crack. It sits at the perfect height just how it is.

Yezzir.
And in terms of the tiny pee-pee guy, look at the plates on that monster, their from Texas. That explains it
Call me crazy but my Sheldon Black stays in my truck and those big F350's that drive up next to me think their actually higher than I.
Psst..

Is there anything in particular that's stopping you?
When I go 35's, the plan is to do it without any body lift. I'll cut and pound the front as necessary and extend the rear bump stops.

Front bumper, rear bumper, sliders, and future t-case clocking require the body lift.
