    I went with this set up ,
    C59-302 front coils
    GS59-700 front struts
    UCA's - SPC
    C59-599 rear coils
    GS59-705 rear shocks
    Should give me 2.5 to 3 in the front and 1 to 1.5 in the back . Ill go with 275/75/17 tires and keep the stack wheels which i will paint a charcoal gray .

    Got the SPC’s yesterday and was reading the install instructions, my question is did anyone here use these and what wheel alignment specs did you use ?

    Finally got around to install my lift kit . drives great , highway , Braking is much better, local roads and turns . Took my about 5 hrs including the wheel alignment. I chose to go with 275/70/17 General Grabber tires and OEM TRD wheels. Here is Before and after.4runner3.jpg 4runner2.jpg

    Looks good. How much lift did you end up getting. Been looking at Dobinson suspensions lately

    Been thinking about a similar Dobinsons setup. What do you think of the ride quality compared to stock?

    I think the ride is a lot better . Handling is better , big difference in control under braking . it's a little stiffer which I wanted and expected, no more bouncy boaty feel .
