This is what i run and cant be happier.
E80-82-071-01-22-KIT - Eibach Pro Truck Lift System (Stage 1) - 10+4Runner

You may just want to remove the spacers and see what that does for you.

Thanks Charlievee, can you help me understand one thing. This would not be a complete kit I would assume since this is only shocks and springs. Wouldn't there need to be other extension arms and pieces to allow the vehicle to have more height. Such as strut extensions, etc. This could very well be a stupid question. Apologies in advance

The extra height is achieved via the spring!

Thanks. I totally thought that additional parts would be required since the ReadyLift spacers my 4R has required strut extensions.

So much to learn....

I’ve had the same issue . Except I am all stock no lift . Mine is the TRD off road premium . If I go to apply a good amount of pressure to the breaks it nose dives and almost locks up .

Same thing happened to me.. just something you're going to have to get used to.

You wrote "HAD". Did you resolve it? OR just got used to it?

 

[Sicia0727]

Sorry should have said have not had . Still have the same issue . I’m going to put a true lift on and see if a stiffer suspension doesn’t change it . But also before that speak to the dealer about it .

 

[Sicia0727]

I’m a collision tech at a dealership and I know the nose diving is not right . I just called the dealer and of course I got the I’ve never heard this issue before . Are you lifted ? Of course they are trying to find something other then a warranty issue . I have a appointment for them to look at it on the 3rd . Will keep you updated . Seems like a problem with the intelligent braking system or spongy front suspension or both IMO. Nothing to do with your lift .

The nosedive is because of soft springs. I have a Toytech Boss lift and no nosedive but the brakes still suck. So in other words "If I go to apply a good amount of pressure to the breaks it nose dives and almost locks up" except no more nose dive, brakes still almost lock up.

5th gen 4Runners have a safety feature called break boost or something like that. It senses a panic stop and that triggers the boost. I think it’s looking at the timing between acceleration and breaking force. It’s annoying

Others have already hit this subject, but the eibach kit is complete... Minus the top hats(you use what you have or can get new ones) no need for upper control arms as it keeps the lift just under 3".
