That's a decent kit. Decent price for 1 stop shopping. I'd buy it. Check out Ruff Stuff. They might be a little cheaper all together.

have you ever bought from them? do they ship fast?

Never bought from either company. I've heard tons of great feedback about ruff stuff, which is why I recommended them. Call the company and ask when they'll ship..

That's a nice looking kit.
I went the homemade route and made my own mounts.
I left the bottoms of the front mounts on for extra support and skid protection (I guess).
I didn't make a rear mount, I just made some longer shackles and mounted them to the stock rear mounts.
I also installed new bushings into my springs, no squeaking what so ever. Makes my buddy with an 06 Tacoma really jealous. Haha.
Bushings were $40, springs were $40 (i think), steel was free.
You'll need to do something with the front because you'll be getting a couple inches of lift. I had to crank the torsion bars all the way to bring it back to stock rake.
I don't know how high it was stock but the top pic is my truck before and the bottom is after. You can see how much lift I got from the fender well gap.

My truck wasn't stock height at the time of those pics.
3" body lift (that doesn't change the suspension though)

The first pic was basically flat suspension.
The rear springs only had maybe an inch or two before the bump stops (which it hit them alot).
And the front was basically flat as well.
The front suspension arms were flat and parallel to the ground where as they should be more angled.

The second pic is the same front suspension with 63" chevy springs in the back. Lots of up travel.

I would recommend just installing the rear springs first and then tinkering with the front to get it sitting properly.
Some say that a 4" suspension lift will match a 63 chevy spring swap in the rear. That could be true, all depends on the length on your shackles, if you moved your rear shackle mounts or kept them stock, and of course, how many leafs you have and how worn out they are.
(Mine are 3+1 (3 main leaves plus the overload).
Do the rear spring swap, then worry about the front.
