    Just recently bought a 96' sr5. Its 2wd however i was wanting to lift it about 3" or so to enhance the look. Ive come across the toytec boss coil over set through skimming other posts. However, i was wondering if there were any other cheaper options that would accomplish the same goal since it is only my daily driver and won't be seeing trails. I am leaning toward the toytec boss lift kit because its a 96 with about 215K miles on it. So i figured instead of doing spacers or what not and going cheap, i might as well replace most of the suspension on the thing since its old anyway. However again its only a 2wd and won't be seeing trails so wasn't sure if it would be necessary to go coil overs. Or if i could maybe get away with something life rough country or a lesser brand since it won't be taking a beating. Thanks in advanced

    If it is just a Daily with no off-road use a spacer lift works well. But since it is probably due for shocks anyway, the Bilstein 5100s would be a good choice.
