Looking great. This post was extremely helpful as I am running FJ (moog) rear springs and I have 5100's waiting to go on the front but couldnt decide on which springs to run in the front. I assume youre running the 2.5 toytecs?

Yes, I am running the 112-620 on the second clip.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but I am completely new. If you put aftermarket suspension systems on the GX470 does that mean the "Comfort/Sport" settings will no longer work?
Correct. That is controlled by the OEM shocks.
That is correct, if you replace both the front and rear with springs/shocks the variable settings will no longer work.
Toytec Bilstein 3" coilovers
4Runner SR5 wheels powder coated metallic anthracite
Goodyear Duratrac 285/70/17
Had to trim 3" off the inside of the mud flap but otherwise no rubbing.
Unfortunately after putting 100 miles on this setup, I can say that it does indeed rub the upper control arm in reverse and in up/down hill tight turns.
I still need to have an alignment done (wanted the suspension to settle before I had it done), but I might have to try some very thin spacers I have kicking around to get those inside Duratrac sidewall lugs away from the UCAs.
Suspension: 2.5 inch coil spacer in front, 1.5 inch airbag spacer in rear.
Tires: 285/70R17 on stock wheels
Spacer: Spidertrax 1.25 spacer
Still have rubbing on plastic in front fenders when doing a tight turn -plan to heat gun and cut if necessary...

I'd like to see pics of that one during the day if you don't mind.
What's the offset on those wheels?
0 with 5” backspace.
Are those TRD wheels?
Don't mean to be a pest but if they're 0 wouldn't that be 4.5" backspacing? If 5" backspacing, that would be a +12.7 offset, no?

I checked an online offset calculator and they claim to take into account the lip on the rim which adds another 0.5” to the offset. A 9” wide rim with zero offset was reported as a 5” backspace.
Yeah, after some googling I saw some formulas add .5" to the calculation...and some don't haha. I guess I'll stick to offset. Anyhow, thanks for the specs. Exactly what I'm looking for.
It’s funny you say that because I could’ve sworn originally when I bought them they were advertised as 4.5”, but it’s since been changed to 5”.
Finally have my new wheel and tire set-up!

Looks great! I'm leaning heavily toward a 6112 setup. Did you use the second clip from the bottom?
