Which lift kit is correct?

Either the lift made existing issues more noticable, or caused em.

Its hard to tell, but the bearing drop is cheap and easy.

I'll post when I get it. Also thinking of getting the plastic spring liners to stop the squeaking.

Toytec uses deaver i thought.... no plastic discs came installed? I had there 1.5 aal yrs ago and it was a deaver with plastic pads.

AAL that came with the Toytec Boss kit has a rectangular pad on each end. Did you take the leafs apart to grease them?

I recently bought a 2012 Tacoma SR5 DCLB 4x4 etc. It is completely stock right now with 63,000 miles. I am going to college this fall and this will be my main vehicle.

I also will be using this pickup in the mountains when I go hunting and logging, and will be using it out on my families ranch driving around through the fields whenever I need to go build fences etc.

It will also be used as a response vehicle, response meaning I respond to the fire station, not to the scene. So it needs to be reliable, and not "bouncy".

I want to add a 3-4 inch lift to gain a little more clearance over brush for the body and to add taller tires to gain axle clearance over whatever I might run over.
It will be getting front and rear "ranch hand " style bumpers when I get the drafts finished and welded up, so he lift I add, needs to accommodate the weight, and still have desirable handling. I will also be pulling a small utility trailer from time to time with a 4 wheeler on it and whatever else I haul.

The advice I am looking for, is what lift would fit the purpose I am looking to accomplish. I don't need some performance off-road lift because it will see mostly highway miles. But, when I do go off-road, I want to have the clearance I need to protect the truck. I don't beat on my trucks, I am a firm believer that if you take care of it, it will take care of you.
So what lifts do you guys have or suggest.
