    Got a 2002 DC TRD OR (4x4) coming in and starting to plan on what lift I'm going to get. I'm not sure how much of a lift I would like yet. Prob 2-2.5" or so. I've read the FAQ and still have a few questions (the links to toyotanation just take me to front page of the forum btw)...

    - Is there already some kind of "go-to" lift kit for someone that does not want to spend too much?

    - Can I just have bilstein 5100 shocks in the front and add-a-leaf in the rear? Or just 5100 shocks in the front and rear? What would these look like if so? Which is better in your opinion if so?

    -What would be the difference if I did bilstein 5100 in front in rear with an add-a-leaf vs the two scenario described above?

    - In the "possible issues" part of the FAQ, it says you may need a set of UCA's to fix alignment. And after little research UCA's are apparently several hundred dollars. Is this common to need after getting the lift installed?

    All info is appreciated. Thank you for your time!
