OME 890s, now what for the front?

Just put in 890s and the OME Comfort 60028 in the rear for my 99 T4R, good amount of rake, a lot stiffer in the back. But anyways, i'm now looking into lifting the front, but I'd like to keep a small amount of rake. I don't do any crawling, but just long cramping/backcountry trips where i'm loaded up with a ton of gear. I upgraded my rear so it wouldn't sag, it would be a shame if I got a front lift to level it out and the rear ended up sagging again.

I'm looking into the Toytec Coilovers for $609 ToyTec coilover kit with Bilstein 5100 shocks - 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

From what I have read, the Eibach springs alone provide a 3" lift, but in the item description, it says "Adjustable from 1 1/2" to 3 1/2" Lift". Anyone have any insight on that? In the end, I think a 2"-2.5" lift in the front would be ideal to keep my rake, and down the road get a plate bumper. I'm looking for a lift but yet a decent on-road ride, as it is my DD. Is there anyone that makes an adjustable coilover with progressive TRD springs?

Sidenote: After reading all the horror stories of removing the rear shocks, I for some reason thought bending the crap out of the absorber would break it free. Nope. Get the coil out and with a Sawzall to the shock, 5min literally you're done.

Those coilovers are nice. You get a reliable Bilstein shock and good quality Eibach coil. The best part about an adjustable CO is that you can dial in exactly the height you want. If you do go higher in the back, you can dial the fronts up.

When you get that bumper, dial the front back up to the height you want.

I wish I did the adjustable COs the first time.
