PM'd and sent funds, Thanks.
That’s what I did. I had rear airbags Installed to eliminate sag when towing. This raised the rear slightly, even when only 3psi in the airbags. I had the front coil spacer added to decrease the rake. Neither the spacer, nor the airbags when 5psi, affected the ride in any way that I could notice. 10psi will raise the rear and stiffen the ride if unloaded.
There is still a slight rake to the truck. I wouldn’t add a rear spacer as I wouldn’t want more rake than I have when normally loaded. If I’m heavily loaded I just add air to the bags.
Same as the front?

My dealer is saying 6-7 hours!
Seems a bit excessive. I was charged for less, below $350 for install and alignment at my local dealer.
Where are you located / what dealer? Thanks!
Dallas, TX - Freeman Toyota, about a year ago. Rates may have changed by now, but I'd only expect a few hours of labor at your dealer as well. I got the parts online for about $70 for the pair.
I would at least hope to keep it under $500 for parts and labor, ideally under $400.

Agreed this seems excessive. For a professional shop, this should be easy work. 2-3 hrs at an easy pace but could be done in less than half that really.
Here's some insight into the operation
Great looking rig. I am on the verge of going same route with the 10 Mill spacers, but the Toyota dealer swears they are already on there. Is there any definitive way to visibly identify whether spacers are already on the truck. I have a 2017 200 LC and think this is all I want to do along with some bigger tires (275/70/18 on the stock rims). BTW the shop charge would be $255 labor, $125 alignment and $120 on spacers (think they should be $80 based on what I have read). This is a great thread and any help on the question of visibly identifying whether spacers are already there or not is appreciated. Thanks.I've been on the fence about adding the OEM coil spacers since I bought my 200 back in March. There was a mild rake on the cruiser but not terrible and I just wasn't sure a 1" lift up front would be worth the cost of the spacers plus labor to install. I ended up having the spacers installed about 3 weeks ago and am very pleased with the results - the stance is noticeably more aggressive and much more level.
I realize this mod has been done by a ton of guys on the forum but there aren't many pictures of 2016+ models with OEM spacers so hopefully some will find this helpful. For reference the tires are 275/70/R18's, ground to fender measurements now are about 36.5" front/rear on the driver's side and 37" front/rear on the passenger side (gotta love the cruiser lean!). Ride quality has not been affected adversely at all. Not sure the pics do the new look much justice, but in person it is an obvious improvement!
Is this at a US Toyota dealer? If so do you mind telling us which one? I think the $80 parts price is more on line where as the 120 is probably standard Toyota parts desk price.
