lift suggestions!!!

i need a lift kit but i want to go modest (2-3") so i dont have to mess with extended driveline

i was told that ome was the best (i was quoted $780 for the complete system) but i am thinking of going trail gear springs but was told they are extremely soft.

and since i own a 4runner there is rumor that the rear sags with any springs so it is recommended that i buy 1 inch larger lift rear springs

and yes i want rear springs, blocks and helpers are for parking lot wheelers!!!!

i was thinking to go with a boomerang shackle as well front and rear from sky man. please give me input.

Where were you quoted at $780 for a full OME kit?

The cheapest I've found is $1500 including the drop draglink and extended brake lines....

I would also recommend your rear springs being 1" over your front springs. This is due to the weight of the top/rear seat passengers. I have owned Toyota trucks from 81's to 2005 Tacomas. For some reason Toyota still can't get them right.
