tacoma lift question

hey i want o lift a 2001 2wd tacoma 4 door sr5 4 banger. i'm not planning to do any hardcore offroading just dirt roads, going o beaches and mild things. the truck is a daily driver, so MPG is important. i only want a 3 inch suspension lift.

the question is, whats the cheapest and most effective way to go? and what tire size without re-gearing?

thanks ahead of time.

The 2 companies that i can think of are FABTECH and PROCOMP i am think with both kits tire size is 33 to 35s and regear to 488s front and rear

Fabtech is too expensive for what you get...especially since you aren't going to use it for extreme stuff. Skyjacker and Rock shocks are two good companies
