Everyone on this board, and who owns a 4runner/Tacoma seems to run 4crawler body lifts. I am as well.

I have a 2" lift, and at that, it was pushing the limits on some of the electrical components, and other brackets, etc. 3" might be a little exessive. Id stick with the 2". All you need is the steering column extension, front bumper bracket, and I think that is it. I got the ultimate blocks, they are nice. No worries on the radiator bracket, since you can just pull the lower shroud off in about 10 seconds.

The install is very simple for 1-2" body lifts. I'd imagine with a 3" you'll have to do a little bit more moving of some stuff around the front of the truck. It took me maybe 2-3 hours tops by myself to install this lift. I used air tools though.
