stay away from any o fthe big manufactures lifts for toyotas, they all pretty much suck from what I have seen. They are stiff providing little flex and a rough ride. look at

All Pro offroad (http://www.allprooffroad.com)

or just run some 2" lift YJ wrangler springs on the front, the will provide about 4" of lift and provide a soft ride and good flex.

finally search this board there are tons of cheap effective setups.

if I go with the tj springs what do I have to do. do they use the stock hangers and what do I do in the rear?

no not TJ springs you want YJ springs. TJs are coil and YJs are leaf. The leaf spring is a little wider but all you have to do is pry your open a little. i have also read that people shave some off the bushing. they are the same lenght as the toyota with the spring pin centered

I would use the search for this question there is alot on this. You could use Chevy S-10 leafs, Chevy 1500, Mazda, exc... ot does get confusing but I would read everything you could about it its all here.

LOL There is a REAL BIG difference between a TJ and a YJ. just letten you know that if you order something from a TJ you are not going to get what you want. LOL
