Your welcome and thanks!
So far so good on the AT3s. 99.9% of my driving will be on road with dry conditions and I don't drive that much per year. I had Michelin A/S tires on before and had M/S on my last truck so these make a little more road noise than I'm used to but it is still very little. These had excellent consumer ratings, "look" better than M/Ss and were $50+ cheaper per tire.

Finally got my wheel and tire setup done. Now looking to find some rear coils to lift up the rear some more, I only have 1&1/2 daystar coil spacer in the rear

Nice rig. Too bad you're in Texas, I have a pair of springs I need to offload but it's probably not worth shipping.

Would you mind giving the part #'s you used for the OME springs?
What "lighter" springs did you use?
I'm thinking 884 in the front and 895 or 895e in the back. Undecided. No extra weight in the front for me and V6.
I load the 4Runner up pretty good with camping gear and haul a quad or boat at times so I'm thinking of going 895 in the rear not 895e.

They were the 884s in front, Toytec superflex on the rear.

What are you running? Suspension and tires wise!

Tires are 255/80r-17 Cooper St Maxx, rear is Metaltech Long travel. Looks like nothing much around town.
Did you remove the rear sway?

Been doing a lot of research for the last couple weeks on cost-friendly "mild" lifts (mostly FJ swaps) but decided to just take the dive and piece together a solid suspension setup for my needs.
Went with Bilstein 5100's all around, OME 885's up front and Toytec Superflex for the rear. I also have 1.5" daystar spacers I was planning on installing just in case my truck has noticeable sag that needs corrected on the driver's side.
The truck will mainly be a road queen. I am new to the 4x4 world and I don't plan on doing MUCH offroading, but I wanted to get something that would be capable enough if I ever wanted to try out something mild. Hoping my setup will allow for a nice enough ride on pavement to justify the purchase (all this will be running on a new set of BFG K02 275/65/r18 tires)
Still don't have the truck yet (perhaps jumping the gun on mods, typical me), but I should have it by Saturday and I should be able to have all this installed early next week, just in time to say it was a Christmas present to myself.

Did you install both the boots and the shin guards?

Oddly enough the boots were on there??? I did not ask for them, but I just went with it. The guards i put on.
Looks really good man....I'm doing a very similar build when I get home from deployment. Well done! As you can see all the parts are already listed in my Sig. hahahaha

Stay safe and keep your head down.
As far as your build. Read, read, and read again all the threads on these. Look at pictures too. I did this myself and every step required more research, more parts, more money. There are some youtube videos of guys putting on Tacoma UCAs and coil overs. Turns out the Tacoma front end and 4runner front end are the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbsTJgb6S_c
Issues that slowed me down in order. Front and rear sway bar links/rear brake lines/19mm wrenches and sockets.
Best tool/time savor - impact drill - use sockets as mush as possible and ratchet wrenches.
Making some progress on my low budget 03 SR5 v8 2wd. Front springs were shot. Replaced with Moog 4wd springs and a 1 inch spacer. Just added some trail addition take offs. Happy so far. Not the best looking rig. But happy with the functionality. It's clean and drives great.
When I got it.
