    Im curious can you buy suspension lifts from this site?
    also I've heard that a body lift is probably not the best
    Way to go even tho it is way cheaper. I want something
    that is affordable and looking to lift 3 in. Any suggestions?
    I've looked at a lot of kits some come with shocks and coil
    overs some are shocks and aal's and some with just two
    shocks. Just not sure what all im going to need. I have all
    the tools to do it myself to save garage fees, im just not
    Certain of all the parts ill need.. thanks, Rob.

    No, but there are great sites that associate with TW and have people who you can PM on here such as Wheelers off road, Down south Motorsports, rebel off road, toytech and others that im probably forgetting.

    Nope, mostly everybody on here would quickly steer you away from body lifts. There are two options that could give you three inches of lift and be a lot better than boldy/spacer lift... Those two options are OME kit, and Bilstein 5100 kit. With those kits you can get an Add a leaf (AAL) for you stock leaf springs, or get a full brand mew pack such as dakar set, or all pro leaf springs.

    Here are some links with popular lifts people use.

    This is the OME setup, it comes with new leafs, coils, and shocks. Everything you need and I personally think its one of the better more inexpensive lifts (If you are not going with King, icon upwards of $2000 for a lift) This one people run and it has an adjustable front shock that is adjusted via a spanner wrench with is provided. People use this one because you can adjust your front suspension later on if you get a heavy bumper you can lift the front to accommodate that. This is an AAL rear, you would take apart your current leaf pack and add the provided leafs in for the rear lift. This is the same bilstein lift except without the threaded adjustable lift.

    Here is the OME kit, except without the dakar leaf pack, just AAL

    Personally, my recommendation is the first one

    If you have any questions feel free to ask!!
