Here's how it sits now after adding the
OEM Front Coil Spacer (Part # 43136-60020). It's crazy the difference 33's and a 20mm lift in the front makes for the overall capability and stance of the vehicle. Imagining it with a 2" lift is drool worthy. The back was loaded with some guitar amps so it was sitting ever so slightly low there. Surprisingly, the rear departure angle isn't as good right now as our stock Seqouia, the bumper hangs a bit lower. I'm also really tempted to yank those running boards off, but my family members wouldn't be able to easily get in. I will maybe have to look into some step sliders in the future.

To increase the amount of clearance I have around the 33's on 0 offset, I went and did the 4Runner fender liner mod and basically redrilled the liner about 1.5" forward and trimmed away the excess. I wonder if the increased tension on the new mounting location might come loose and snap back, wondering if anyone (like
@alta who did the same on his 200 to run 305/65R18) has any pointers to really secure the front fender liner or further increase clearance. I had also hit the liner with a heatgun and rolled it flatter and further forward earlier.
I also went and dremeled all the "excess" off the front mud flaps and left the "functional" part to help block water and rock spray around the sides of the truck. Made a big difference in how much dirt got on the sides. You can also see where I trimmed the inside corner of that rocker panel at an angle (keeping the tab hole for the mud flap). Right behind that was a little welded bracket extending off the frame that the middle of the mudflap used to screw on to, which I also sawed off.
Hopefully this is helpful for anyone looking to run larger tires or lower offsets on a 200.
Added a Scosche MagicMount Pro, really sturdy grip on both my phone and the dash, and it looks clean and low profile:

Here's it out in some undeveloped land out here in North Texas. Loving owning this more and more each day.
