DO a search on OEM lift. It is the best "mild" lift on 3rd gens in my opinion. It is a combination of Tundra front coils and a (one or two)3/8'' spacer with a taco strut. For the rear you use 1995 FZJ-80 front coils.
I plan on doing this lift soon.

Nice! I've been shopping around for a while on a mild lift for my '02 Sport and I'm glad to see a before and after shot of your ride to be able to compare.

Do you mind telling me how much the entire lift cost (exclude the Bil. shocks. I know the price of them.)? I hope to be doing a 2" lift soon and need to set a goal to save to. Thanks!

It is a great setup. Steve at Sonoran also has a 3rd gen setup that alot of the guys use. Either way you won't go wrong. I prefer Old Man Emu over mixing parts but they both have a place in the off road world. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

x2 on the Old Man Emu shocks with the tundra coils. Vastly improved over stock IFS. Revtek spacers and a set of Bamachem's spacers will do you for a good 2" lift if not more. Kinda depends on if you have a 4banger or a 3.4L
