Forgive me if this has been asked a million times, but I couldn't find the answer by searching.

I have a 2002 4Runner, all stock, and I'd like to lift it. I'm looking for recommendations for a lift and what brand or models I should look at. My budget at the moment is pretty flexible as well as my time. I have a friend who's a Toyota technician and he's offered to help me install or repair anything with my truck, usually after I restock his fridge, so I think I'll order it and save the labor costs of going through Les Schwab or anything like that.

tl;dr I want to lift my truck about 3", give or take, and I don't know what to get. Show me what you got, and what works. Thanks.
