I recently purchased these two items:

(2.5in front spacers) -On stock coils
Front 2.5" lift Spacers - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits

and

(1.5in rear coils)
Eibach 1.5" Rear Lift Coils - Toytec Lifts: Toyota Lift Kits: FJ Cruiser Lift Kits, Tacoma Lift Kits, Tundra Lift Kits, 4 Runner Lift Kits, Sequoia Lift Kits, Toyota Truck Lift Kits


I have not yet installed these and I was curious as to whether this setup will give me any lift? Also, will this setup even out my rake? I have a stock 07 4runner with stock 265/65r17 tires. I plan to go to 265/70r17 tires soon. I did not want any major lift on the rig, but did want a small bit and more so an even look.

If y'all could give me insight on this setup I would appreciate it. Thank you.

No..I know it will. But do you think THIS EXACT setup will even out the rake or would it still be noticeable?

Guess I should have made that clearer.
 
If you just want to level it, Just buy a 1" spacer for up front

You have conflicting views on what you want in a "lift" so its hard to give you much advice

As for the DS kit, im pretty sure it will leave you with some rake. From your post, you sounds like you wouldn't want a 2.5/1.5" lift anyway?.....
 
Well.....I don't want to lift it too high and I want it to be level. I think 2.5/1.5 would be good. I was just curious if anyone has gone with this type of setup and been happy with it?

About half way down there is a metallic looking 4th gen posted by "T-dogg..." That's about how I want mine to look like. He has the daystar lift, but after doing some research and talking with my buddies I went the toytec way. I've heard that spacers in the back are bad for the rear so that's why I bought the coils.

I want to put 265/70r17's on it. I want a small bit of lift/clearance for off road, but my main driving is on the road/highway. So therefore I don't want a big lift and huge tires.

I would think less than an inch difference in rake would be pretty level. What would you consider crackiswack?

People define level as different things. Some people want the wheel wells to be level, but this makes the running boards higher in the front than the rear. Anywhere from 1.5-2.5" can be considered level depending on your definition.
 
yea I was wanting the distance from the bottom of the tire (or ground for that matter) to the wheel well to be pretty even on the front and back. I don't have running boards so that doesn't really matter and I don't tow anything so I'm not worried about it not being level if I ever towed something.
 
Sounds like you need the basic 2.5/1.5 spacer lift. If you want a more complete option then go for the full swap route.
Also, check the sticky at the top of this page (4th gen) to read up on all the info for lift combos and pro's/con's.
