lifting back to stock height.

Ok I have an 05 kj 2wd and I’m trying to do a 2.5 in front lift and a 1.5 rear lift im trying to get a good look and for it to stop hitting bump stops

It would be much nicer to drive if you lifted it level instead of like a powerboat.

Not worried about handling I’m a desert rat and Cali lift always looks better fit me honestly wide up from and at most a 3 inch lift up from with a 2.5 in lift in the back but I don’t know what vehicle spring fit out front struts in order to give me the lift

They are an odd size spring, small and close wound with a high rate, I don't know of any other spring that fit except uprated ones built for the Jeep.
OME or H&R make lift springs, for off road use don't bother with spacer lifts on old worn out springs.
There is loads of information on here about lifts, have a search and read up.

"Level" for a KJ is an opinion. The wheel arches are a different height front vs rear.

I'm using 4runner coils in the rear (with a slight trim) and load assist shocks (look like coilovers) to firm it up.

Hi there! I read something similar on Reddit. Could you please share me what’s about those 4Runner coils? Which model and how much lift do you get? Thanks a lot!

The 96-02 4runner rear coils. Have to cut a little bit off the top pigtail to get them to seat. I'd say about 2" of lift.... got rid of the rear Teraflex spacers that way.

Great! Thanks a lot. I’ve already ordered them, choose Moog 81041, and instead of cutting, I think about heating the last turn to open it to the seat size

Just a word of caution about lifts and driveline angles. If you exceed 3degree on the reardriveshaft u joint you will get vibration at high speed. If it bothers you or if your gearing combo ever gets to a point that you meet the vibration zone (est 25-2600rpm), that’s up to you.
