Did you notice the front diff drop actually making a difference in cv angles?
Ya it helped enough to make it worth it. You can visually see the difference. The spacers are about 3/4'' thick and I added an 1/8'' washer to them because there more room. The diff doesn't rub on anything, the mounts are pretty stiff. Not a lot of movement under their.

No I wasn't saying that a SAS is the same amount of work. Sorry for the confusion. My option was Sonoran Steel Products.

That front strut from sanaron steel comes with a stock coil. The only difference is the adjustable shock. The end result is the same coils you have now with more preload, might as well just buy a spacer block for a lot less then $700.

(2)-Fully Adjustable Front Coil-Overs
$700.00

These come fully assembled with new top plates and bushings
(2)-Custom Bilstein Adjustable 5100 Series Front shocks

Adjustable from 1.5 to 3.5+" of lift, with heavy duty lower bushing for "real" off road use

(2)-Genuine Toyota Progressive TRD Front Coil
All of the bushings, top plates, nuts, cups, custom poly retainer, etc. required for complete assembly, Genuine Toyota rubber/parts for the most resistance free movement and all brand new parts.

Custom Polyurethane Top Plates Retainers made to fit smaller trucks top plates and center larger trucks coils. Re-sizes the smaller top plate to hold a larger spring.
Final assembly included for an extremely easy installation, no spring compressor or special tools required, Native shock to the vehicle, no hokey adapters.

These fully assembled units can also be setup for a 3rd Gen 4Runner just specify "4Runner".

Better off with these coils

And these shocks:

And you'll only be able to use the bottom setting with the lifted coil.
