Need help un-screwing up the lift with KDSS

[gakattack]

Need help leveling out my wife's rig that we lifted a few years ago. Originally she liked the rake but now wants it level, or close to it. Installed are Bilstein Pro takeoffs, Dobsons 748Rs in the front (1" lift), 723s in the rear (2" lift), K02 275s (if that makes any difference).

As it sits, below are the measurements for each corner measured at wheel center bore to the bottom of the fender trim:
Driver F 21" Pass F 20.5"
Driver R 24" Pass R 23.5"

What is the easiest and most economical way to raise the front end another 2-3" with KDSS? Should we go with spacers or taller springs? If so, what is recommended?

I understand that a 1" spacer would result to close to a 2" lift. Are there any companies that you recommend that makes a 1-1.5" spacer? Would we need longer studs for the top hats?

Thanks in advance!

I'm confused. How do you get a 2" lift in the rear with Dobson 723? To lift the rear, you need either longer springs or a spacer between the spring and the spring seat. The shock in the back does not have the spring around it, so you can't do a lift by varying the spring seat like you can on the front.

Also, a 2" lift in the rear is quite a bit so you should also have other modifications such as the longer Panhard rod and longer travel shocks.

If you want to level the car, why not remove the rear lift, what ever it is?

Since you say you already have a 1" lift in the front, if you do more than that, you will need new UCAs, and a front differential drop.

I have the Rough Country spacer lift (on the stock suspension), which is a 1" spacer at the top of the front strut, ending up with about 2.5" lift. Those spacers have new, offset mounting bolts, so you don't need longer bolts. 2 Inch Lift Kit | Toyota 4Runner 2WD/4WD (2010-2024) | Rough Country

Id replace the rear springs. If you want to keep them, check out cornfed suspension. They have kit for front springs. An appropriate rake is 1" taller in rear. Will help stabilize the truck too. So if you can find a balance... I'd take that route.
