So your lift is just newly added 2" spacers?

You added 2" spacers all around? I would think the rear would lift 2" and the front would go up nearly 4". From what I understand the front spacers double the amount of the spacer. For example, my 1/4" top spacer added 1/2" amount of lift in front.
Wow that's the first I've heard that the front doubles. That would explain why it is higher I guess. We put on four of these, 99% sure all four are the same thickness (about 1.5"):

You added 3" front lift and 1.5 rear. Most people do coils out back to match front spacer.
That being said you should do coils and shocks. Spacers cause less up travel.
Thanks. Guess I need to look more into that.
Would a 1-1.5" BL in the rear be sufficient?

You can't add just rear body lift since the body would not be flush to frame. You would have to taper the body lift spacers and a member had done this. To much work IMO.
You need to research. Rear lift coils would be best. They are cheap. Don't expect shocks to last with lift though.
You should have just done BL from beginning if trying to stay super cheap.

Those are huge spacers in the front for being top hat spacers! Way too big.
You can do a 3" lift with spacers just fine, but you have to use the pre-load spacers that go IN the coilover assembly- not on top- for 2.5" of lift, and then a little 1/4" spacer on top for the remaining 1/2".
The pre-load spacers are effectively the same as the adjustable Bilstein shocks up front, so don't let anyone tell you the pre-load spacers are bad. Those top plate spacers you used are terrible for your suspension though- get rid of those ASAP. They cause too much droop on all your joints, and severely reduce your up-travel.
These are the pre-load spacers I am talking about-

The spacer you added is almost halfway between your tire and LCA pivot point- that's why the spacer is close to half of the amount it will lift your rig. Leverage is a key word here.

x3!!
It's not my fault.
I'm assuming that's without using the spacer I have installed right now correct?
Do I need/want new shocks to go with the 906s? I'd prefer to have a softer ride feel since I have my little boy in the back seat quite often. I don't wanna rattle his teeth out of his head :0
edit: nvm I think I"m reading that that coils themselves are about 1.5" lift so with the top spacer it would be 3". Correct?

What do you think about trd/5100s up front at ~2" for starters, which should bring it down to close to level with the rear and see how that looks?
If it's still noticeably higher than the rear then I add 890s in the back? I've read the 890s ride really stiff though and that wouldn't be good...maybe 906s and a 1" spacer?
