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.

searching would be the best option, so you can get lots of advice and lots of information to cater to your exact needs.

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
