My setup originally included the following components: 1 set of Performance Products 1" lift springs, Downey 1.5 aluminum spacers up front, JC Whitney 2" rubber spacers in the rear, and Bilstein heavy duty shocks front and rear. When I installed them I somehow had 4"+ in the front, and the CV's were at an outrageous angle and the ride was very harsh. I guess it just wasn't a good combo with the springs and spacers. So what I ended up doing was removing the front PP springs and using the factory springs. I ended up with about 2.5 inches front and rear, and it sits evenly. Sometime in the future I would like to try using a 4" or even 6" pro comp or trailmaster lift that is designed for the Tacoma trucks on my 4runner. I had a friend do the installation for me, so I cannot tell you exactly how to do it. If you visit Wyatt's site (pictured in the photo below) and click on his 96 4runner you will find an excellent write up on how to install the components. Notice how in the first picture the front end sits higher than the rear.  That was before, now it is fixed by taking off the PP front springs.
