Problem is - because Toyota builds them in the USA - they get quality control issues - such as Tacoma Frames that were contracted to DANA CORP. DANA, and there AMERICAN manufacturing methods outsourced the work to MEXICO to save money - using shitty steel, and not treating the metal proper... now look how many Taco's Toyota has to CRUSH and destroy because or AMERICAN quality. now - Toyota is paying all owners KBB top value CASH for the trucks - no questions - and extra cash if they buy another Toyota.... your AMERICAN car companies would never do that.....would they ?
Toyota made this mistake back in the 80s when they shipped all the trucks over the pond and had a US plant make beds from AMERICAN steel. We all know how well that panned out for those now wood bed trucks ..
So sorry about the rant , to get back to the point -
I have inspected Total Chaos on a 3rd gen, and installed Sonoran Steel, OME and Revtec lifts on friends 3rd gens...
Do it properly... save the extra $300 and get the full kit- system 1.2 - its only $1300. you always get what you pay for - and these Sonoran Steel parts are very well made,
If you want it cheaper, get the Econo Coilovers - rear springs and brake lines. Just make sure you get the front diff drop spacers, or you will blow out CV boots.

The tracbar and bumpstops aren't needed - just help make the truck drive much better.
Keep in mind - if you go higher then 2-3" lift in the rear, you really need to put longer 4link arms on the rig. At 2.5" the short stock arms make the rear axle start to wrap under the truck, toward the front tires ( this is bad - trust me ).
Hope this helps
