New To Lift Kits

What should I get?

I just picked up a 2006 Tacoma PreRunner TRD and am looking to throw a 3" lift on as my first project. I'm not really sure which brand to go by as I keep viewing mixed reviews on everything.
I'll be doing it myself with a buddy probably and we have all the tools necessary.

It'll be used for trails a lot so I believe I'm looking for a suspension lift, correct?
Also what would the max tire size w/o rubbing be for a 3" lift?

Thanks!

 

You are looking for a suspension lift, correct. What is your budget? What tires sizes have you been looking at?

 

I'd like to keep it under $700 but I'm flexible. Tire size would 285x75x17s be too much?

 

You will have to trim. I have 285/75/16s.

 

Ah figured, any quality kits you could recommend?

 

I have Old Man Emu

 

Check out Toytec and some of there Bilistein lifts. Same sort of prices as OME but I'd argue the ride will be a little better. That's just personal preference of course.
