    I’ve recently purchased a 2016 4Runner trail premium, the previous owner installed a coastal bumper which weighs about 140lbs, front end is sagging pretty bad. The vehicle is strictly transportation but we do live a private gravel road about 3kms which gets pretty rough in the spring. I’m looking to lift it and was thinking Dobinson lift kit
    Front coils C59-314
    GS59-700
    C59-599
    GS59-705 or should I go with the GS59-701
    I would like to keep the rest of the suspension stock and was curious if these would level it out and ride properly ?
    Front is at 19” and rear is at 22”

    I’m not sure I’d just re-spring old coil overs. Given the cost / effort / convenience, it might make sense to replace them with new ones already set up for the load.

    IDK, just a thought.

    Good luck and Cheers

    I am planning on changing the shocks since the stock ones wouldn’t work with the heavier coils. I’m just wondering if the set up I listed will work.
    Thanks

    Hey bud,

    Yes, that would work well. The front should come up to about 22.5" with the weight you've got and running the C59-314 coils. The rear will be about 23.25-23.5". So it won't be level, still about 1" of rake, but that's normally the right amount on these so that when you load up with people and cargo, you're not squatting bad in the rear.
