Delete the ABS module since those are lame anyways. Super easy to do. Just get new brake lines (If that gen has a non-ABS model, then get those premade lines), or make new ones.
Redesign the control arms to push the hub an inch or two forward for less firewall interference. It'll give you better approach angle while you are at it.
I may do the abs delete, that's the easy button.
I already moved the hub forward an inch, and with the long wheel base break over angle is already an issue. I'll have to trim the firewall some more to clear the old fender well and then maybe a little BFH.
If I had the money for longer shocks, yes. Haha.
Not much help for a T4R. Your body is in the way.

These are perfect for mall crawling. You won't feed speed bumps or lesser cars.
I recommend a 12"x2" for the taco, but you could absolutely put a 14x2.5 in there. But you're not going to get more than 12" of travel with a stock geometry leaf pack.
I put my 14x2 shocks through the bed, so that I could keep the tabs up high.
I'll probably do a cage and 16s when I'm ready for the upgrade.

What links/leafs are you planning?
4 link and long travel since 2wd, but it's a ways off since I have medical bills and lawyers to pay off first.
Liked for 4link.
It'll become my desert season truck eventually. For now, light desert trips when I don't feel like putting wear and tear on the 4runner.
Can anyone think of a reason a unit bearing like this: https://trail-gear.com/axles/dana-60-unit-hub.html
And a mounting plate like this: https://trail-gear.com/axles/unit-bearing-pocket.html
Couldn't be built up into a spindle for an IFS?
Trail Gear makes a knuckle using the same parts: https://trail-gear.com/axles/dana-60-ball-joint-knuckle-set.html
But that has an inner "c" to stabilize the other side of the CV or Universal joint. On an IFS that center shaft has to be self supporting.
