looks great by the way!
Sloan, you should do it sooner. I think it will sit slightly lower in the rear for 2WD and level for 4WD, since these coils are designed for 4WD because of the extra weight.

Its interesting to note that the front PP springs touch at the upper wraps. I would think that they would be close, but, not actually touching. I wonder what the benefit is of doing this.
SC4Runner, thanks! It rides almost like stock, I was a little surprised because I thought the ride was going to be much stiffer.

I got the PP coils for about $275, they were on sale. I got the Tokico shocks from Steve at Sonoran Steel for $221.50 for the set.

Mine was also on backorder, they took around 3 weeks to get. They just got a new shipment in about a week ago.

So I go to the Toyota dealership to get an alignment after the lift, what do they tell me…”Sorry we can’t adjust your camber, your year truck does not have any means for adjustments.” WTF??? Right then and there I left. Does anyone know of a place that does quality alignments for lifted truck in Southern California? I want to take it to a place that knows what they are doing. The guy at the dealership had me going there for a while, until I spoke to Steve at Sonoran Steel who set me straight.

I've gone to Sears and Firestone before. Never had a problem with either of them except Sears on my Porsche set it to a normal camber setting instead of like that 2.5 degrees that are factory.
