    Are you sure it doesn't have one already? It may be the angle of the picture or my dumb brain, but that truck looks tall for stock. Are you the original owner?

    2.5 inch lift: Full Dobinson's suspension kit, Freedom Off-road UCAs, 265/75r16 tires on factory Baja alloy wheels. x2 Baja Designs Squadron Sport Led Pod lights. CBI Moab 2.0 Aluminum Bumper w/full hoops, Warn Evo 8k winch. Ultraguage. Midland CB radio with 3ft Firestick Firefly. Tacomabeast/Spyder Headlights. Rear diff breather. Cruise mod. A.R.E. Topper. Prinsu topper roof rack. Hail damage mod.
    I've got the deaver AAL. Initially it raised it 2 inches it's probably still close. Between 1.75 and 2 inches of lift added with the tsb spring. if I did it again tho I would probably go with a full leaf pack and forget it.

    Ok, then I'll say that if you don't do a lot of hard off road wheeling or towing, a 2" AAL would be fine and affordable. Depends on your budget and intentions. I have a 1.5" Wheeler's AAL that I've been content with for what it cost.

    Yours looks like mine. I put 5100s on the 3rd notch and currently have Wheelers progressive AALs in a box that need to be put in. Progressives would probably be the way to go as the ride doesn't get as harsh. What do you have for a lift in the front? Looks lifted.
