    I don’t have any pictures, but I can tell you that it’s often recommended to just upgrade the shocks/struts to a 3rd gen TRD OR. This will basically level your truck (although there is still a 1” rake, not enough to notice), and usually it’s about time for a suspension overhaul for the 2nd gens.

    I did it myself and it was definitely the right decision. Much better ride.

    You can go look in the buy and sell thread and you’ll find that people take their third GEN suspensions off right away and they have very low miles on them.
    And all suspensions are interchangeable between 2nd and 3rd GEN, and cost wise this would be your very best bet

    This customer from years ago did a 1.5" leveling lift with 265/75/16 tires.

    I did like @dTed said and went with some 3rd gen TRD Off Road Takeoffs I found local on TW. Lifts front end 1" and leave rear end at stock height while providing a better ride. Truck still has some rake which I like but it is pretty close to level
