PICS:
Before...

After...

Good clearance...

On road.

Rear 4Runner coils....same height!

Tundra vs. 4Runner fronts.

Compressing...the better part of 45 minutes.

Not quite seated correctly.


Overall after settling, I got 2" in the back and 1" up front...hope fully alignment will bring the front up some.

Turns out the popping/banging noise was the strut moving up through the topplate about 1/2" and hitting the nut still. So we took some Vise Grip pliers and locked it to the top of the strut and got a ratcheting wrench (17mm) and went to town with about 8 half turns left on the nut. I got it as tight as I could and now there is no banging/popping noise...just a stiff front end =]. You guys think the alignment might get me .75" up front? Like I said, I only got an inch.

An alignment isn't going to lift you any. I don't understand why you didn't get more out of it? I had the 2.5 daystar spacers on and this exact setup gave me more height than that did, "of course I did the topout spacer, but were only talking.5". My antenna actually hits the garage door now when backing out.
