Questions reguarding Lift Kits

Hey all, So I been looking over the forum for a few days now and am now a little overwhelmed with all the information. I currently have a stock '10 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. Its a good truck for what I do but I want to add a little extra lift and some nicer tires. I don't want to go over 3 inches due to the extra headaches that causes. So questions:
1) What is the best kit to use for about 3" suspension lift on a budget?
2) What size tires could I run with the 3" lift?

Thanks in advance for any help you give

 

1) It all depends on personal opinion, but I would suggest Bilstein 5100s front and rear with an AAL in the rear.
2) You could run 285/75/16 with a little trimming.

 

Get the OME lift (non adjustable is its only negative) and use 285/70R17 or 285/75R16.
