New to the forum, few questions

So my name is James and I got a 1999 Taco a couple months ago and I have a few questions:

1. CEL came on code 0170 - I have been doing some research online and it seems that the best option is to just start throwing money at the o2 sensors/MAF sensor. I cleaned the MAF and it didnt help. Im curious if anyone has had better luck than me?

2. Whats the best option as far at 6 inch rear lift springs? This will be a daily driver/adventure rig. The rear is lifted with blocks now and sagging like a grandmas ass

3. Is there a solution for wiring up a brake controller aside from piecing together my own wiring harness?

This isnt my first toyota or offroad rig so I know a little bit Im jsut new to the newer Toyotas. I have had an 83 toyota, an 89 toyota, a 93 jeep cherokee, and 2 98 jeep cherokees.

Thanks, forums are a great place to get information.

Welcome to Yotatech.

1. I cleaned MAF but code kept coming back about once a month. Replaced MAF now gone and put in new air filter.

2. 6" rear lift springs? What's in the front?

3. Brake controller?

J*** is a bad word. Don't use it here.

you can do all of the searching you would like for most parts on your taco but I always can count on LOWRANGE OFFROAD for the best price and most items I might need.
