Running a 2012 hilux with 210 xxx on the clock. I was plaining on buying these and getting some raised king springs for the front.

I dont tow or carry a heap of weight so i was planning on leaving the current leaf springs in, will it cause any drama’s by doing so?

I dont want to lift it too much, i am thinking of using these as i have a steel bull bar and dual battery so there is a little bit of weight in there

Talk to Ultimate in Sydney. A whole kit isn’t much more than $2000 which is front springs, rear springs, all 4 shocks and greaseable shackles. Good quality rebuildable shocks too. Mine has been in for well over 100,000kM now. It has heavy front springs due to bar, 2nd battery and winch. Front will come up about 75mm but only about 40mm over standard as your springs will have sagged over an inch. Mine has soft on the rears as I only have an Engel fridge and canopy so not a lot of static load, it came up about 50mm but has sat down a little since. The soft rears are good if you don’t carry much static load. If you tow or put load on occasionally the sifts works well as they still have the same load carrying springs as the medium or heavy.

X2 on what HK said. Do the whole thing, you will regret just doin the front. Go talk to a reputable store, ultimate, arb etc and get it done properly. You won't be disappointed. Every customer I've had that just did the front was back within a week or two to get the rest done.

Yes, you don’t realise how bad the original stuff is until you get good suspension. Bit like only knowing crappy drink like cheap beer or cheap whisky. Then being given some single malt or Rare Breed Turkey or similar.
