    No

    But for 300 bucks, this is about as far as you are going to get.

    Save up and get some Bilstein 5100's set them at 2.5" (you may get away w/ stock UCA's) and AAL in the rear with 5125 shocks, trim and be happy. Don't just do a spacer or leveling kit. At 3" you will encounter alignment issues. Prerunner a can also do spindle lift too.

    X2. You get what you pay for and a spacer lift isnt the way to go. Best option for you since your on a budget is 5100's as noted above.

    Get these and set them to 2.5 inches up front For the back you can do: That puts you right around 300 and you'll be better off then the spacer front, and you'll be about level with the added 1" in the back. you don't need new shocks to run the 1" block either and install is super easy.
