2017 SR MT lift options

Afternoon gentlemen, it’s been a while since I’ve browsed the forums and ultimately pulled the trigger on a used 2017 SR access cab with the MT considering its the last year Toyota offered the 2.7 + MT combo and I love it!

Currently she’s sitting on some All terrain KTOs 265 70 16 and crappy steelies from the previous owner but I plan to change that here in a few months. To sooth everyone's mind, 6" DB lift is out of the question. Looks cool but I wouldn't be able to fit it in my garage, which is a must, with ~81" floor to top of garage frame (correct?), plus it's more expensive considering id be putting on 35's + regear with 4.88s (not to mention loses off road capability).

So, im going 3" and don't want to spend more than $2k. Have a setup in mind, but wanted to opinions on if there's a better riding and more reliable (trying to keep geometry as close to stock as possible CV wise). This is what I'm thinking thus far that'll be paired with a 33x11.5 tire:

OME TAKE16 kit
-888 coils (maybe 887?)
-Soft ride nitros up fron
-Dakar leaf pack

Plus TC UCA to help out.


Any thoughts/advice/recommendations are greatly welcomed. I'd go "all out," but im staying in the 2k range because i plan to SAS far in the future so no point in going buck wild now.
