    I have a '13 sport and im looking just for a slight lift, something that wouldnt look bad with my stock tires until i can get new rims and tires. maybe a 2-3''. just something to give me a little better stance and clearance while maintaining the same suspension feeling and performance, or better performance

    Get bilstein struts all around. Anything else like spacers will just make the ride worse.

    Edit: Not everything else, but anything cheaper than that. You can get high quality lifts for way more money

    Spindle lifts are for PreRunners only & replaces the spindles (between upper & lower control arms) with a longer one.
    Bilsteins would require swapping out all shocks and you could reuse stock coils or get longer ones so you wouldn't have to preload them. You would also need an add a leaf or new leaf pack for the rear unless you just wanted to level it.
    I would recommend OME instead of billies. 885s on OME shocks & an AAL or the Dakar leaf pack. You'll get 2.5"+ (2.5" for DCLB more for DCSB) up front without a spacer & 2" or 3" in rear depending on AAL or leaf pack.

    So you could go with ether the spindles or OME.
    OME 884s have the same sring rate as the 885s just a little shorter. Maybe around 2" on yours.
    I love the ride of my OMEs (coils & shocks are designed to go together and work great on our trucks) both on & off road. A little firmer than stock but not harsh (even better without the sway bar).
