Will this setup sit level, or alt. Suggestions?

[cstmg8]

97 limited, currently fully stock with a Curt rack. I don't mind a little forward rake, especially since it allows for some rear accessories.
Cart at wheelers off-road contains:
Front:
Wheelers T-1 coils (3" at stock weight)
4runner Bilstein 5100's
Rear:
Toytec superflex coils (3.75" at stock wght)
Either Bilstein 5100, or Rough country N2

I'd like to hear opinions and suggestions for alternatives or tweaks.
My motivation is this, I want rid of the rear sag look, but it's a budget truck, not a fancy crawler (rock or mall). I want function, not just looks, hence the lack of a spacer lift which would be cheaper. I'm expecting better flex and travel out of this setup, than a spacer. Correct thinking?

Well, after talking to Steve from wheelers (who was very helpful), it sounds like this will Be to much rake. I didn't take into account the initial factory rake which I guess is about an inch? I'll probably switch the rears to ome 3".

More initial factory rake was not introduced until the 4th gen. 3rd gens sit very level or close to maybe 1/2" rake.

You will have about 1" rake and is about perfect.

With the toytechs in the rear, or the OME?

I'm pretty torn, because I had really gotten used to the idea of the progressive toytechs.
Can anyone show me pics of superflex in the rear and 3"in front?

With superflex. I searched and found this. Toytec coils and superflex.

Right, I don't think that looks bad, am I wrong? I could always put some weight in the rear, lol.
I found some others:
Supertechs with 3" front.

I run LC 7 wraps. They have same ride height and flex. They are awesome. Ome coils lift tires easily.

Ordered front uca's, do I have to do rears with this much lift?

So, everything is on the way from wheelers. I added a rear shim for drivers side lean, a diff drop, and front stem cushions/washer kit.
What else will I definitely need? What else do you recommend at install?

Hell no. It looks awesome

With that said. I've notice one thing difference. The front fender line vs rear quarter line are in different height levels. So you sometimes you bee look HARD AT THE ROCKER PANELS and see if the back is higher aka rake
