How should i lift it?

Hey guys! I have an 04 double cab tacoma at stock hight. I dont plan to take it wheeling or anything but I do go down alot of back roads on my weekends throughout the year where I have to go through mud and run over logs and stuff like that. Ive ran into a few situations where it would have been nice to have the truck up a little higher with some bigger tires. Ive done a little research on spacer lifts and suspention lifts but I dont know if its worth the $$$ to go all out with suspention or if a spacer lift or coilover will do the trick. I think I want just a set of taller shackles and/or AAL for the rear but just dont really know what I should do for the front. Would like to stay around 2 to 3 inches of lift. Also would like to stay around about $1000 for the lift. Anything is helpfull thanks.

 

OME...
Best for bang for the buck.
