    So I've be running PC 3" lift coils with ES6000 struts up front and a Wheeler's 1.5" 3-piece AAL in the rear. Today I, tentatively, finished my lift upgrade. I went with 2" blocks in the rear, for now(I said tentatively. I will be getting All Pro standards in the future). And Maxtrac 4" spindles up front. Got rid of the PC coil lift and went back to stock TRD coils with Stock Billys. Took me a little over 6 hours by myself. Few pics below.

    Here's how she sat before:

    Here she is now:

    Couple of pics during install:

    Wheels stick out a little more now. Love that look!

    Hope thats not an aluminum lift block. Have heard alot of bad things about those and that doesn't look like it has a taper to it.

    It is. I will be replacing it with a pair of steel ones when I get a chance.

    I'm planning on getting All Pro standards.

    I saw those, but I'm only looking for 2" blocks. Aren't yours 3"?

    Prerunner(2WD). You can't do spindles on a 4X4. At least none that I know of. You have to go with a coilover lift for 3" max or a full suspension modification including crossmember cutting(Pro Comp, Fab Tech) for a 6" lift.
