    Hey guys good morning. I have an 01 runner and want a 3in lift and have about 1200 to spend just on lift alone. I just want the best kit for that price. Il be doing alot of trails with decent size rocks in Colorado so I just want a quality kit and I would love some feedback please because I'm just overwhelmed with all the kits.
    Sincerely,
    Bryan

    Bilstein 5100s paired with 3" coils should fit your budget, and you'll want some aftermarket upper control arms. Just gotta be mindful of your CV angles with the new front springs.

    I'd suggest OME all around as you can get complete coilover fronts, rear shocks, and rear coils all in one go.

    Keep it at 2" otherwise you'll tear boots even if they're OEM CV axles or extended travel types.

    Going over 2" and you're just giving up droop, which you'll want if you're really going to be hitting trails.

    Bigger tires will give you the extra clearance you seek.
