best way to get 3''-4'' lift?

hold your horses Kam...

considering you have a prerunner and live in so cal and your wheeling options are pretty much desert running, then i suggest you hit up folks in your region for lift advice...

Sandman427 has a great truck, but there are no spindle lifts for your generation tacoma unless you get one custom fabricated...

before you go dumping your money, check out your local offroading scene first and see up close and personal what works and what doesn't...

it will save you money in upgrades later down the road...

we may be heading out to the desert the friday after thanksgiving (next week) if you want to roll out and go for some rides...
