What do you think? I need opinions.

What do you think?
right now my 4runner has the Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift kit on it which is Bilstein 5125 Series Nickel Plated Adjustable Heavy Duty Front Shocks and Toyota FZJ-80 Land Cruiser Coils.
So it has a slight rake.

Do you think I should put a body lift in the front to even it out and make it look way taller or leave it raked out? and if so which body lift and what size?
in this picture it doesnt look as raked as if your next to the truck.

I would never advise putting a body lift on only 1/2 of the vehicle!!! The body needs to be sitting flat on all of it's mounts! If you raise just the front, the mounts will likely punch through the sheet metal body because they will all be at an angle and the egdes will dig in (especialy the edges of the pucks in front).

SS even makes you sign a waiver that your truck will have a rake, so I have to ask why did you get a 1.2? I assume your fronts are adjusted all the way up? You could swap your LC rear coils for some OMEs and you'll sit level. There is nothing you can do to make the 3rd gen sit level with LC coils unless you do an SAS (or a drop cv lift but those aren't very good IMO). I have a solid axle for sale (lol).

frankly, I like it.

frankly, I like it.

Me too, I think a rake looks good on a 3rd gen.

I like the rake. Your rake isn't as bad as some other guys is. Keep it! On a side note, I'd get front mud guards to fill in that gap at the bottom of the wheel well. I had the same problem when I took off my running boards. They're like $60 is you get the dealer to price match toyotaparts4u.com. It'll save your body from getting a nicked up from rocks and whatnot

I like it now. However, since your LC coils are pretty new, if you put 300lbs of something (sandbags, etc) in the rear for a couple months it will help the coils settle. They're pretty soft so they will settle some. Not a ton, but I'll bet they drop a 1/2" from where they are at now.
