    I have a 2000 sr5 Xtracab 3.4 4x4 that is all original suspension... I figure I need new shocks all around, new leaf springs and probably coil overs while I am at it.

    Here is where the search function wasn't as clear as I needed :) --- I am wanting the truck level or a slight lift with level. I am not an off roader but use the truck for errands and hunting.

    Looked at bilsteins and the nitro charger set up at wheelers off-road but not sure what all I need for a level pickup. Sounds like I can lift everything up 1 1/2 -2" but would still have the same rake as factory --- whatcha thinking---

    arb bumper, 3 inch spacer lift (it needs to go!), 3 inch OME lift,
    OEM?

    If you want to go aftermarket just get a OME (Old Man Emu) suspension. Depending on how high you lift it you might need upper control arms (UCAS).
