Ok -- total noob question, but I've sought out lots of info and simply don't feel educated enough to make a decision to lift my truck.

Option: Billy's with AAL, 2.5 up front and 2.5 kit in the back to make the truck level, or 2.5/1/5 for current rake...

Option: OME or Toytec kit which will replace both the shock and springs in the front end, and leaf's.

Either option will need replacement of the UCA's to correct alignment issues, assuming I'm lifting into the 3" range, right?

I was told by a total fab yodder that I could shackle the back and add spacers up front, which would be the cheapest option for doing some moderate wheeling, and would be better in the rear end for articulation. After discussing this with someone else, they said they've never heard of shackles in the back.

What do I do!! Lookin for an affordable way to gain about 2.5" of lift. The truck will be used for moderate wheeling and daily driving. I'd rather go with the safest, most comprehensive way of lifting the truck, cuz like everybody else, I don't want it to break and have to redo it.

Sorry for the horribly long and lame post, but I cant find a direct answer anywhere... And, I'm not sure if these simple questions have been answered in another forum.

For cost effectiveness: option 1, get the 1.5 springs for the rear. 2.5 will give you a mean looking cockroach.

im unaware of shackles for the 05+ tacos yet, spacer people complain about ride some like it. yes shackles are awesome and someone needs to make some for our 2 gens.

most cost effective is 5100 set at 2.5. at 2.5 or above you run the risk of needing new uca's to correct alignment. for the back you dont want 2.5 for a level ride, you want i believe a 1" but not sure about that.
