Downey Bilstein Coilover lift

I was wondering if anyone here had used this setup before, particularly in a 4 runner (3rd gen). I'm looking for a ~2" lift and I've heard so many good things about Bilstein shocks and other Downey parts I was wondering why no one seemed to be using those. The price seems right, but after searching a few forums I still can't find many people using this setup...am I missing something?

Erikjeanna has this setup in the fronts but has downeys all around in the back if I'm not mistaken. He got a 3.5" lift and it still wasn't enough for his 33's. He's now going to get a 2" body lift.
