Default Suspension help

First time posting I've looked and lurked for months but can not find a definitive answer to my question on my lift. I have a new to me 2014 Lexus GX460 luxury, I have a 2 inch front and rear lift with Bilstein 5100's OME 886 in the front and stock load OME rear coils with the conversion kit from Icon. I also have the Dobinson front and rear passenger side spacers, the Dr.Kdss spacers and the BOTCK. I have done the kdss reset but I still get either a passenger front lean or a driver rear over extension. My question is can I remove the passenger front top hat spacer and adjust the preload by moving the spring seat up one notch to counter act the lean? Any and all help is welcome

... you will find many posts on 4-Runner forums that this pursuit is an endless rabbit hole. The best you can do is to run adjustable front coil overs so at least making changes does not involve taking things apart in an experiment hoping that the end result will be close enough ... but will invariably change again anyway ... an endless game of "whack-a-mole".

As repeatedly reported, the KDSS leveling challenge ... when dealing with a lift approaching 2-inches and beyond becomes increasingly difficult. Again, search 4-Runner Forums on this subject ... lots of good information when filtered ...

Yes you can do that.

From my experience: Adding lift on one of the front sides will essentially reduce the height of the rear opposite side.

So if you lift the front right, the rear left will lower a bit.
