Not gonna get a suspension lift for that price, just BL's. Try searching the forum though, this is one of the most covered topics.

Try this for starters:

Spacers are by far the cheapest, they will give you enough lift for larger tires. I was able to do the Tundra/OME lift that people around here have been doing for around $450. Thats was getting everything myself used etc. It took some time to find everything. This lift is basically the same as Sonoran steels 7.1 minus a few things, like the panhard, and extended bump stops, brakeilnes. If you just want to lift your rig up a few inches to stick some bigger tires on. You can get a "used " spacer lift for under $100. I just sold a 2.5 inch daystar for $75. So keep you eyes peeled. Spacers are only a temp.thing. Your springs will eventually fatigue and then you'll want replacement springs all the way around.

I have a 3" Revtek spacer lift on my 01 runner. It was around $300. I bought it last year.

I think that toytec is just selling OME springs as a kit.

Yes the toytec 3' is a good bang for your buck. Though this is only for the lift part.. For the <300$ kit there are no shocks included, but it is ok to run it with stock shocks and you can change them at a leter date. This is a popular choice. Search the 96-2002 4runner forum for "toytec". You will get many threads discussing it. Also go into the members section and search toytec for some possible pics
