    Cheapest is a set of blocks.
    Maybe the most common affordable option is 5100's with ome 88x springs and an aal in the rear.

    If you're going to ask one of the most asked questions on this site, expect a little ribbing.

    If you would settle for a little less than 3”, than I’d say the 5100’s
    But 3” is pushing the limit on “budget friendly” and actually having a truck that drives and feels good.

    Ehhh gotta love these kinds of people.
    Maybe we should provide a link as well to the spacers so it will be easier to buy them?

    Youre asking for a "cheap" way to lift your prerunner 3 inches...there isnt one. Because if you cheap out on spacers and blocks, and ACTUALLY get 3 inches, youve just created alot MORE headaches for yourself. Are you just wanting bigger tires and a "cool" look? or are you looking for functional lift for offroading? that information would help us, help you.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    You want cheap… buy a spacer lift and block.

    Itll ride like a cheap lift.

    Best and cheap don't mix well.

    Do a spindle lift and get 4" while retaining your ride quality.

    What are the parameters? Maximum amount of money you want to spend. What are you going to do with it? Mall crawling, driving down fire roads to do some camping? Hauling ass across the desert, etc...

    He’s got a 2wd SR5 Prerunner so the lift isn’t for off roading, it’s simply to look “cool” and maybe put some cool bigger tires on. So if that’s the case a cheap lift will be just fine, it’ll ride like shit and it will cause problems that the OP probably has no idea of, but it will look cool. Sorry I can’t offer any suggestions on a cheap lift but perhaps some others can.

    You’re good with a spacer lift, had it before on my old ‘05 and no issues for about 3-4 years, pure street queen though. :)

    3 inches of lift and cheap don't belong in the same sentence.
