Revtek makes a really nice kit, the only concern is going to be the weight of that ARB on the front. It will probably be alright on the stock coils for a little while, however, they will sag fairly quick. But I really do believe that RevTek makes a fantastic spacer!! From what I heard so does Cornfed, however, to get them you need to get a hold of him...good luck 
Here is my rig when I had the revtek on
Here it is now :^)

If you just want a cheap way to lift the front go with spacers made by cornbred. I think they are around $150. They will give you 2.5" of lift in the front.
Or the 3" Revtek kit for a Tacoma will lift the front and rear costs about $460.00 here.
The 3" Revtek Lift Kit contains:
1 Pair Coil Spacers to lift the front.
1 Pair Blocks with U-Bolts to lift the rear.
1 Pair of Rancho Rear Shocks for lifted applications.
You use your stock front shocks with coil spacers to raise the front 3" and the blocks and Rancho shocks for the rear. It is a complete kit ... one stop shopping
Check with Mike at XtremeOff-Road on this one too, he is a Revtek Dealer.

Yes, now that you mention it, there is a lot of frame exposed there. I never really thought about it before :confused:

So do you know of a cheaper source for replacement heim joints for the SAWs? They want $14 each.

I am sure they are both not without their faults, just like the bushing issue we are having...although small, a little aggravating.
Cobb from the looks of it you may be correct, they do look like a PITA to crank. Granted they are shipped at a predetermined height, however, I am sure adjustment will be necessary.
