Newb, Would love advice

Hi everybody! Im new to tacoma world, but not new to the truck. I had an 01 extended cab that I drove to 250k miles before gettin my 09 access cab. It has the cheapest wheels on it, and rides lower than my 01. I would love to beef it up a little, really just enough to feel like its the same height as the 01. I also would love to put a hood scoop on it, but i would prefer to use an oem product. can it be done, any other advice on mods? what tires size, and rim size should I get to get maybe half inch to an inch more?

Thanks!

 

Welcome to the site. Anything can be done but it all cost $. It will depend on how much you want it. there is a ton of info on lifts and tires

 

Thanks Boston,
Im looking to spend around 2k in the spring on the Taco. I already found some great stuff on the site, and plan on fixing my blower resister this evening as a result.
