    get bigger tires. they might rub some on the frame, body, fenderwell but itll raise about .25" - 1.0" depends on tire size.

    you could probably go with a spacer in the front and block in the back or aal... my guess is thats the cheaper end of lifts...

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    ToyTec makes a 3/4" top plate spacer that might be what you are looking for.

    what's "cheap" and what do you use your truck for? does ride quality matter to you? you get what you pay for is all I'm trying to say.
