    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Budget?

    There are a shit load of threads around that have information. Take a little while and look around. Search in the top right corner will show you the way. Try a bunch of searchers. "3" lift" "toytech lift" "OME Lifts." There are threads asking the same question with all the answers you can possibly want.

    My suggestion is go with OME.

    It isn't our truck it's yours. You can throw a spacer on it for all we care but the info is available to you all over the suspension section, especially in the stickies. Do your homework

    This is your cheapest set up, but it will also ride well.
