    Hi I'm looking for a 3" lift kit for my 2007 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 double cab. I don't Have a lot of money to spend on it. And I want a real suspension lift kit no blocks. I also want to run 33" tires. I was looking at the bilstein 5100 kit. Any help would be appreciated.

    You answered your own question. That's going to be your best budget lift that isn't blocks and spacers.

    As for tires if you want skinny you should be good, if you want wide your 98% going to have to trim plastic out of your wheel wells and maybe have a CMC done.

    this seems to be the best bang for the buck for the average truck, roughly 1500 in parts and if you can do the labor yourself the buck stops there....

    What's your budget, just for suspension? "Not a lot of money" is pretty damn vague/subjective.

    What's your intended usage? Crawling, mudding, camping, hunting, mallcrawling?

    There are serveral ways to lift your truck up toward the 3" mark. If you are looking at something that is budget friendly the kit that @Juforrest and @uurx are mentioning could work for you. If you want to PM me we can go over your options :)
