Before I offer suggestions, I have to ask why do you want to lift a 2wd? If it's offroad capability you want, get a 4wd.

if your going to do it you might as well go long travel but the setup is more than your truck is worth and definitely not cheap. body lift? that will get you 3 inches. I vote long travel. check out chaos fab.

This has been asked and talked about a few times in the last few months. Start researching in this section. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f212/

Oh, nice! Is it the Toyota factory diesel engine or a swap? I agree with Total Chaos Fab, they are great at what they do!
