A Big Lift on my 2nd Gen Taco

Hey all,

First time caller, long time listener.

I have read some of the replies on info regarding a 3 inch lift. I have read it all depends on budget. I have been told by my trusty Toyota dealer Service Manager that if I go over 3 inches? I'll never be able to get it aligned correctly. So I'm curious to know about that because ideally? A 4 inch lift would be ideal.
A bit about me? I just BEAT Pancreatic Cancer. I LOVE my 06' Taco Pre-Runner TRD Off Road. I'm 6'6" tall. When it comes to off road? I'm a rock crawler - MOAB, UTAH is my favorite place until I die!
I just sold my Harley. I DO NOT WANT to spend "balls out" on a lift because frankly? My doctors told me if I live longer than 5 years from now? I should be grateful.

SO ON THAT NOTE! What is the best suspension (3 to 4 inch) lift kit I can get? Budget on a lift & tires - $2,500 - 3 grand.
I have quotes for a Rough Country & Bilstein 3 inch lift. Tires from Nitto Ridge Grapplers to BFG All-Terrains. (265X75X16) Want to keep my stock rims. I've been told I can do 285's on my stock rims doing a 3 inch lift..... All I want is to be able to make that 1st step on the Broken Arrow Trail in Sedona, AZ.

Can't do it in my stock TRD with 265's.

THANK YOU in advance. I love this forum!

Hopefully you were able to make it. I love Broken Arrow - went there a long time ago with a 94 Xcab Toyota 4wd. Loved it.
