99 4Runner Limited 4x4 front lift help needed

I've got a 99 4Runner Limited 4x4 supercharged that I want to level up the front to the back.

It never sat totally level since I got it.

It used to have the following suspension on it with ear raked up higher;

Front

Stock tall 99 Limited coils on OEM struts
ToyTec 3" spacer lift
Diff Drop kit

Rear

OME 891 coils
Monroe Air shocks (set at 10#)

Now it has the following suspension on it;

Front

2004 TRD Tundra 4x4 front coils with new Gabriel Gas struts
ToyTec topout spacer - 1/2"
Diff Drop kit


Rear

OME 891 coils
Monroe Air shocks (set at 10#)

The front still sits lower then the rear. I also have an ARB Sahara front winch bumper with a Mile Marker 9500# winch on the front. I think the both of them probably weigh 200#.

I measured the front from center of hub to the limited flare lower corner and it was 22 1/8".

The rear measured from center of hub to the limited flare lower corner and it was 23 1/8".

I was researching some ideas to level it up and the only things I can think of is;

1. Put OME 883 coils up front with maybe the ToyTec 1/2" topout spacer.

2. Put ToyTec/Eibach 3" front coils in that have a 620 # weight rating to them.

3. Find a 1" topout spacer to add to the top to get the extra 1" I need to get this 4Runner leveled up.

I just want some ideas from others on here that probably has messed with different combinations to get their 4Runner to sit level.

Thanks,

Doug

I'm just getting a set of Tundra 5100 adjustables so I can get better ride quality up front since I have the Sahara ARB bumper and MM 9500# winch, and I can adjust the ride height of the front of my 4Runner.

The TRD Tundra front coils I'm already using is supposed to give a 4Runner a 2" - 2.5" lift by themselves.

I have the adjustable coilovers on my Tundra and you can set them where you want and the ride quality is still great.
