Level the TRDPro

it is about an inch lower in the front because of the weight of the supercharger. So your option for leveling are remove the supercharger or stack 2 fat women in the cargo area. Hope this helps

Probably the only one in California lol. What few people realize is the 4Runner, in stock form, is level. Measure the frame to ground front and rear. The body has a front rake because the suspension is set up to take a load of cargo or tongue weight of a trailer. This weight in the back will level the 4Runner. I haul a bunch of stuff frequently and the rake goes away every time. The rake is part of the functional design. Why do people change it? Looks.

I do. I had a fairly large rake on my dodge pickup that I used to own, helps with keeping the back end from being lower than the front-end when towing too.

Good to know! So whenever I end up upgrading my suspension, I'll equally lift it all around to maintain the functionality while still keeping the slight rake look that I like.

will the baja spacers work?

Yes, they will.

I agree that, on the face of it, $160 is a bit pricey for two aluminum rings, but, they must be made in two holdings, they are limited production, short run pieces, and CNC machinists make good money these days ... which they well deserve!

On another note, beauty is in the eye of the beholder .. I like the "level" look, but, I don't pack much weight, and only occasionally tow an aluminum utility trailer. To each his own ..

If you want the stock rake after the lift you'll need 3" coil springs. Many lift kits come with 2" springs so the rear is level with the front. I plan on going with the 3" OME coils (non-heavy duty), so the rear doesn't sag when I'm towing my boat. Even with the stock rake, the one time I towed the boat at night people were flashing their brights at me because the rear was sagging and caused my headlights to aim higher, so I'm looking to avoid that.
 
Does anyone know what options there are to raise the vehicle a inch or so all around without changing out any of the existing suspension?

For warranty reasons, would you need to let a Dealership install them?:noidea:

I doubt that anyone at a dealership would notice a difference. The black anodized perch of the PRO suspension, versus a slightly thicker black anodized perch from the Baja.

It's true, the Baja perch has square cut corners while the Pro perch is chanfered slightly, but again, I doubt highly anyone will notice!
