What's a "good price" for a basic 5100 setup?

I've been shopping around to do a super duper basic 2.5" 5100 w/885 and 1.5" AAL. Never looked into lift kits before but now knowing what parts I want, it still seems like prices vary widely for parts. Any recommendations for a newbie? Should I just pay a little extra for coilovers?

Basically I gotta set a budget to save for the kit and it's hard to grasp what is considered a "good deal" for all this type of basic setup because Toytec VS Amazon vs ShockSurplus etc. all tend to vary by a couple hundred dollars.

 

@memario1214 from Hotshot Offroad should be on your shopping list

Plus it's Tgiving sale time.

 

Thanks! I appreciate it.

It's my daily driver and I'd like a lift for cosmetics, don't plan to off-road. I have a 2007 DCLB TRD Sport 4x4. I started looking at spacer lifts like EVERYONE literally does but did enough reading to know that it's probably not ideal for the long run and should spend $500 more to just do it once and do it right.

All the research I did seems to indicate I need to upgrade shocks in all 4 corners for downtravel increase. I use my truck for loading up lumber and firewood so I intend to keep the factory 1" rake.

Basically trying to spend as little as possible (isn't everyone? Lol!) since it's hard to justify the need.

Trying to avoid doing a diff drop or UCAs and make it an afternoon job but I'd ideally like 2.5" up front. I'd probably be OK ride-wise keeping my TRD Sport springs at least for awhile till I can upgrade but from reading online sounds like the most you can get up front with factory springs is more like 1.75".

I was hoping to stay under $1000 for the lift kit. Ideally closer to $800.
