Profile Update & Body Lift Questions

[solar4runner]

I finally got the suspension completed:

Rear - 2.5" OME rear w/ RS 5000's
Front - 2.0" Bilstein 5100's

I'm looking to potentially use a body lift kit to bring the front up about 1" to level out. Anyone have any ideas? Thoughts...on how to do this right? Can I put a 1" body lift in the front and not the rear?

No you cant install a body lift on half the truck, Im guessin this could cause the entire body to buckle? Anyways no you cant do that. I would leave it that way for awhile. The rear tends to settle a little more than the front and it could level out. You could also weigh the rear end down to get it to settle a little faster. IMO 1/2" rake is normal. I also think it looks better with a little rake.

You actually can do this. This is done all the time on Jeeps. Depending on which way you want the rake, depends on how you cut the body lift. If you want the rear up and front down. You mount the rear spacer, then you cut the front spacer down to give you what you're looking, and finally you cut the other spacers down to the appropriate size. It can be done, but it doesn't look good at all. Anybody that knows about 4runners will look at it and notice it. Especially if you're like me, and hate body lifts with a passion!

Like mentioned above, the rear is going to settle after driving it. I'm will to bet that the rear will settle enough to even it out.
