Are custom mounts needed?

What lift do you have on there? Tire width? How bad is the rubbing?

man. absolutely beautiful.
(slightly off-topic, but I love the lighting accents as well! How'd you mount the SAEs?)
Can you compare the handling of your LE with the 5100s over the XREAS? Are you experiencing more body roll or nose dive with the 5100s?

I dont feel a difference. My buddy has the same year and his didnt have xreas and felt mushy had more bounce compared to xreas on mine... the bilsteins feel the same as xreas and are quality.

you're welcome. BTW, I've never experienced the drastic nose dive that ppl talk about with xreas or 5100. My 4runner dives less than my old 2013 WRX...

I posted this in a different thread, but I figured it needed to go in here as well for reference purposes.
This thread inspired me to replicate something similar except with Bilstein 6112/5160's. Unfortunately, I didn't take any measurements or pictures beforehand, but I'll try to answer whatever questions I can. Here's the set up:
Tires: 275 BFG KO2's
Front: Bilstein 6112 set on 3rd clip
Rear: Bilstein 5160 with custom Deaver coils that are 0.75" taller (will result in ~1.0" of lift) & 15% stiffer than stock
Like I said, I didn't measure, but I think I got 2" in the front and 1" in the rear. Definitely accomplishes the moderate lift/level I was going for. It looks close enough to stock that it won't catch the attention of 'commoners' but is still lifted enough where there should be marked improvements in off-road performance.
I also got the shop to throw Airlift airbags in the rear, but since they have minimal pressure in them, they shouldn't have any impact.

Rides great! Some rubbing on the front sway bar, nothing that can't be easily fixed.
