Pretty straight forward, eh? Welcome to my world.
Not to be a tool, but I am pretty sure this was covered within the last month including a complete price break down for all the things you have mentioned.
On a side note, it sounds like Christo has figured out these can get some cash rather than just being happy to get rid of them. The price has gone up since I ordered mine this summer.
The spacers may give so much compression that 33's are the most you would want to run. Buy a locker and give it hell.

Not to keep this thread going, but thought this info might be important to someone out there. I talked to Christo and Slee, which also confered with Ben (who I was refered to) about the Cruiser springs again yesterday just before placing my order. I have to say that these guys seem to really care about helping customers. Anyway, they just pulled the springs off a Cruiser today which will be my springs. He said that he measured the unsprung length and there is only about 1/2" difference. The spring rates are the same so this should be about 1/2" difference after installed. He suggested the same thing that Ben suggested the first time that I called. Buy a matched set off of a Cruiser.....that way milage and wear is the same. Put in a 10mm (about 1/2" spacer from OME, which Slee sells). This should level the 4Runner up and be ready to go. If not, they sell them in 5MM also and you can get it all set to where you need it.
The other option is buy one set of matched 2 long or 2 short springs and pay $95 ($80 springs,$15 shipping) versus $77 ($50 springs, $12 spacer, 15 shipping).
Again, thought this was goo info for those looking to go this route. Seems the easiest and cheapest to me.

Well, it looks like I won’t be able to do a solid axle for a few years. So, for now I will be going with the Pro Comp suspension lift. I bought it today and it should arrive Thursday. I didn’t care for the Pro Comp shocks so I ordered the Rancho 9000x … They gave me a great deal. For the lift, with coils, pro comp shocks, and the rancho shocks, I paid $1100. I’ll be selling the Pro Comp shocks. Any body need some?
