    New 4Runner owner. On my 2022 I wanted to get my 4R level. I am going to buy Eibach but didn’t know what to lift the front to. Is it 2.5 to get it level? Also putting in Eibach in the rear. Do I need to lift the rear as well?

    thank you for the help

    Spring for their coilover stage 2 kit so you have more adjustability. I have it and for the price it’s a great set up. Running it along with JBA UCAs.

    Definitely doing the coil overs. I’m just not sure what to raise it to for it to be level. One person replied and said to search the forum. I have been. Don’t see it. Was hoping someone would just say raise the front 2.5 and no lift on back. Or whatever the secret formula is. But thank you. Yes definitely going with the coil overs.

    Their stage 2 kit comes with 1” rear coils that will give 1” of lift for the back. I actually adjusted my coilovers down from what Eibach sets them at from the factory after I had them on for a couple weeks and before I got my alignment. Looked a little nose high to me. Now it has a slight rake to it.

    Just keep in mind, if you make it 100% level, as soon as you put any weight in the back it will end up nose high. Probably a good idea to keep a little bit of a rake for that reason.

    I'm probably going to buy the 2.0 kit for mine pretty soon, my plan is to do 2" front, and 1" rear. I don't want to go over 2" because I do not want to replace the front UCAs.

    I believe the 2.0's come set at 2" front lift height from the factory, and if I remember correctly the rear springs are 1 inch lift. This will keep some rake, which is fine with me.

    Excellent point. Thank you. We do carry stuff in the back. I think I’ll go with your strategy. Thank you again

    I saw in another post that someones radar and cruise control started throwing errors errors. Someone chimed in and said that when you lift your 4R that you have to disable the pre-crash and cruise control. Is that true?

    Anything can happen when you mod your vehicle, but from what I have seen that’s pretty uncommon. Mine works fine.

    This only seems to happen when you level out the suspension and the front sensor isn't pointed downward.(since stock 4runner sits 1.75" higher in the back). The dealership can recalibrate it.

    I just had the stage 2 kit and SPC UCA installed, did not do any adjustments on the fronts and installed them the way they came from factory. Its pretty much level with the rear with a slight 1/4 inch rake at the front, but its barely noticeable.

    So I have the Eibach Stage 2 truck lift on my 2020, with 3.25" lift. The rear truck springs are not adjustable, so they are only maxed out to 1 inch of lift. In order to go for a more "level" look, you have to purchase the Eiback rear load levelling system. https://eibach.com/us/2261/ak31-82-071-02-02-TOYOTA-4Runner-load-leveling-system.

    This allows you to go up to 2" of lift in the back. I hope this helps.

    Sincerely,

    Sean
