Bilstein 5100s with daystar front 1" leveling kit
Toyo Open Country AT2 265/70/17
Slight rubbing at full lockup in reverse but I haven't messed with the fender lining yet.
I think the front and rear are about even but it kind of gives the appearance that the front is a little but higher. I am going to mess around with the height adjustment on the 5100s to see if that makes an difference. If that doesn't, does anyone know what would be the best way to get about a .5" lift on the rear? Is there a spacer or some kind of springs I could throw in there quickly?

Why not
just remove the 1" spacer? You could use a spacer in the rear...

Bilstein 6112/5160 w/ Icon 2" rear coils installed 2 days ago
Ordered Falken Wildpeak AT3W P285/70R17 last night to mount on SCS Ray 10's.
Thinking i should have gone 1.5 rear coils to have it more level.

I have finally put together my ideal 4Runner package. Obviously, more mods to follow but I got some big ones out of the way.
New:
spidertrax wheel spacers
Daystar 2.5"/1.5" spacer lift
BF Goodrich A/T KO (275/65/18) tires
First off, nice win against my Heels yesterday. I'll have a similar set up as you in a couple weeks and was wondering if your set up rubbed.
You have a great setup. My set up Toytec Boss set to 2.5", Spidertrax 1.25", Total chaos UCA, and considering 275/65/18 instead of 265/65/18 on the same factory limited 18's as you.
Did your setup require any trimming, removing of mudflaps or pushing forward the front fender liner?

lift kits and pricing
i am very new to upgrading my 4Runner. Any recommendations on different lift kits. I would like about 2" of lift but also the vehicle to be level.. Also, an idea of pricing would be nice so i don't get screwed over. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

If you want level, I can do a 3/1 for you like I did for this customer:
Can do any size you want

I would go ahead and switch out your suspension before doing a spacer lift. A lot of guys, myself included, installed a spacer lift to level it out only to switch out to a suspension lift later. You should check out the BOSS kit at Toytec. They also have the line of Icon kits.

Before and after pics. Installed daystar 2.5/1.5 inch lift/level, trail edition wheels with 285/70 17 Nitto trail grapplers. No spacers, still have mud flaps and no cutting required. Love it so far
