Looks ok to me, but I want an expert opinion
I've got an '04 prerunner with no mods.

If this isn't a good kit, can you point me to something better? I've read alot here and a few other sites, but I'm still not sure of what is the best option. Thanks in advance.

that stuff will work. keep in mind that it's not as good as new coilovers in the front, but the spacers will work for now. with the spacers, and an AAL in the rear, your ride will be a little bit stiffer too. you don't have to worry about CV angles in the front, so go ahead and get the full 3" lift if you get one of those kits.

you may also want to look into cornfed spacers. i know a lot of people around here run them, and they seem to be pretty good. i don't know what brand stuff they're selling at that site you gave though.

edit: something i forgot to mention.. with the AAL in the rear, you may need longer travel rear shocks to make up for the added articulation.

anyone else want to chime in here?

my vote (if you're going for spacers) is to get cornfeds.

Never heard of it, don't know anyone using it. If you want to see some good options from a known dealer that has gotten good feedback for products that a lot of other Toyota owners are using, go right here:

make sure to add the fabtech aal because the 2.5" PC aal isnt very good. Its very short and if you run it long enough, it can cause week spots in your leaf packs.

Thanks guys

So now for my next question from some of you hardcore lifters; what kind of long term effects can I expect? I know I gotta get realigned and all that, so I don't mean that. I mean springs and stuff. What should I keep an eye on, if anything?
