    same shit as everyone else
    I went with a Fox level 2 kit and some Old Man Emu medium duty Dakar leaf springs from Headstrong Off Road. My main goal was to upgrade the suspension with performance parts but keep it as low to the ground as I could for a lifted truck. The reservoir shocks and adjustable coilovers were about $1500, leafs were about $550. Stock upper control arms for now. Labor was me. New tools were $200. Wheels are OEM 4Runner Pro for $800 with shipping. Tires are standard load Falken at3w 265 70 17. I also bought a 17" spare steel wheel for maybe $80. 5 tires bought, mounted and balanced with an alignment was like $775 from my local place. OEM SR5 alloy wheels sold on Craigslist for $200. So about $3705 if my math is correct. I did pay for the wheels entirely with cash back rewards from the credit card so that made it less painful. I've got steel skids and sliders so with all the constant weight under the truck and in the bed, I'm sitting about an inch over stock front and back on level ground. Tires are about an inch bigger as well so it's very proportional to stock. With the 3.90 gears in the diffs, I'll be sticking with this wheel and tire size unless I re-gear. But I'd be skipping 285s if that happens. So far with this setup I have 15,000+ trouble free miles with no strange vibes or anything. Just get an alignment soon after the lift, check your rear brake lines or buy extended ones, and torque the bolts down for a few weeks after install. Just don't screw up your truck and make it unreliable and you're good. :D

    My truck came with 4x Pro Comp Series 31s, so I bought a 5th for spare. It came with a leveling kit and non-TSB rear springs.

    OME 886, Dakar HD and 4x Nitrochargers plus installed by myself with a lift rental: $1500

    5x Cooper ST-MAXX 255/85R16 installed at Discount Tire with lifetime Rotate/Balance and Road Hazard: $1500

    1x Pro Comp Series 31 rim: $200-ish

    Total: about $3200 (spread out in 3 separate purchases over 1.5 years)
