Lift Requirements for DCLB

Hi Everyone,

So I just bought a '23 DCLB 4x4 TRD OR, and I'm interested in doing a 3-inch lift with 285s on a 17 inch wheel. I've done research by going through different lifting threads on TacomaWorld and YouTube, but there's so much information on what's required that I'm confused (i.e. aftermarket suspension, UCA, add-a-leaf, extended U-Bolts, ball bearings, etc.) So....What is actually required for a 3-inch lift kit for a DCLB 4x4?

Further info: I don't plan on doing heavy off-roading. I use my DCLB for daily commute and as a weekend get-away car (camping and going away from "the city"....I live in LA County....). I don't have a camper and I don't plan on using a bed rack, just putting a ground tent, food, clothes, and camping gear under my tonneau cover. If it ends up being too many requirements for a 3-inch lift, I'm pretty content with a 2-inch lift and 275s on a 17 inch well.

Thank you TacomaWorld community! ....Also, any shop recommendations in the LBC, Carson, OC area to buy from and install? Ideally, I'm waiting until the holidays to get a good deal.
