    do you want the most cost effective, or you want a decent lift?

    cost effective: daystar spacer lift
    decent (while still cost effective): bils 5100 from sonny at downsouthmotorsports.com

    The Billy's will not give you the full 3" of lift. Where as the OME kit with the top plate spacers will.
    But also, if you buy this OME kit on the link above, you also have to purchase the OME shocks that go with it.

    I'd go with the lift from Toyteclifts. But nonetheless, Billys are still a nice lift, and a whole lot better than spacers.
    If you purchase the 884 coils, you won't need the OME shocks. ;) The 885's and 886's will require the shocks, but not the 884's. Also, since the OP is a regular cab, 884's will be fine for him. :)

    You can fit up to 33's with Billys, with some minor trimming.

    You don't NEED it, but it will look more level than without it. ;)

    Without it, it will look like you are constantly hauling sand bags back there. That being said, I'd definitely get the AAL.

    That comes with the AAL. The long flat piece is the AAL (Add a leaf). So you're all set if you order that kit. ;)

    here is my truck w/ bils at 2.5" and TSB leafs (NO AAL), nearly level. so you really dont need the rear AAL if your worried about money right now.

    i suggested the bils because many people have had the OME coils settle on them, giving them 2.5" or less anyways. yes, at first you will have 3" (maybe a tad more), but it will eventually settle down a few months later. also, you really dont want more than 2.5" any ways for alignment, tire wear, and handling reasons.

    also, if your going to get the bils upfront, i suggest you might as well get all four shocks from sonny, will make a big difference in the way your truck handles.

    I've heard a couple different things, so I might as well ask. Is the front diff. drop in the OME kit from Toytec really necessary? I've heard numerous people say they run without it, yet some insist it's necessary. Opinions?
