I would suggest coilovers for the front and new leaf packs for the rear if you have the $$$, just my 2 cents though.

I'm running Tundra springs and shocks w/ BAMACHEM'S topout spacer in the front, add a leaf and shackles for the rear. I also have a 2" Roger Brown body lift. So far I'm very happy with this set up.

You are getting good advice from these guys. I totally agree with the coil-over and leaf pack option though. I have done both the spacers and now the coild overs and can tell you that in the long run you will not be happy with the spacers. I bought them because I was trying to maximze my budget and get other mod's with the money that I saved by going with the spacers and now have nearly replaced every part in the spacer kit with better pieces. I did the AAL's in the rear and have been happy so far but I can see the limits of them also. Like the link that humanoid posted, The AAL's did firm up the ride, which I really liked, but they limit flex. The AAL's also made the rear axle off set worse by setting the rear wheels slightly further back. A leaf pack would have been the way to go. I am going to upgrade to a Deaver 8 Leaf pack as soon as I raise the funds. I have been able to sell all of the spacer kit parts so far but I have lost money. It all comes down to how you are planning on using your truck. If you plan on using it hard do it right the first time.

Good luck!
