Could very well be. I was never happy with our 2015 Four Runner off road. Its a good looking commuter car, and a mild off road that is super reliable. But its not a lot of fun when the going gets tough. Takes some big bucks to modify.I believe your Grenadier enthusiasm will lead you down trails outside the 4Runner realm.
Agreed. The 4Runner is built really well at one of the two truly great Toyota plants in Japan. It has a fully boxed frame (unlike the Gen 3 Tacoma), and is - for most people - super reliable. This is one of the most common vehicles in Colorado mountain towns for good reason. But they are really limited off-road. Unless you have the TRD Pro, corrugated dirt roads are really bumpy due to the short wheelbase and the spring/shock set-up, and - in stock form - they have very little flex.
What about the rear?

This meaning the 30mm coils or the new coils they are working on?
“After installing a few of these German spring kits, Eibach USA wasn’t thrilled with the lift amounts that we were getting on the US rigs. Even with the lift, the front still sat quite a bit lower than the rear. They pitched out a couple of springs to adjust the ride heights and one of the R&D vehicles has been driving around on those for a little bit now.
I want to get a lift kit but want the standard option as I don’t want a level vehicle when empty. It’s when I’m full up that i want a level vehicle. So a standard 3” lift would do. I’m just watching the space to see if upgraded shocks as well as springs are the preferred option .
Exactly.
@Logsplitter @Tom109 I'll start by saying, first the comment is directed towards US customers. I had the orginal springs on order through a friend. I believe the orginal eibach version will still be available, if your in the USA you might have to get it imported. Second, I believe the different springs are to address the heavier vehicle in the US and ability to run larger tires. With the addition of the safety requirements in front end, a different spring might be needed. You will notice the addition in inches to front with the back being the same. Yes it does level the front out but also makes it easier to run larger tires.
