Depends on how you want it to drive. My understanding from Pedders is that to get the 3" they have to use the extra heavy duty springs and if you are not that weighted down you will get more like 3". They do not have a range of 3" off the shelf for varying loads.

Enforcer may be the same, some of them that don't get into a lot of the bigger stuff onyl get a bit more lift by over speccing the spring rates. Trouble then is the truck rides harch if not that weighted or if it is you will get your 3".

Here I'm not going to debate the brands but if you want a genuine 3" option you should be talking to the guys who regularly do lifts over 2". I will however say that Pedders at retail prices is very dear for someone who doesn't specialise solely in 4WD suspension and deal in it day in day out.

EFS or Dobinsons would be a good starting point, there are a lot of brands out there. I wouldn't use Pedders for any car....

3" is easy to do.
i usually use lovells coils & shocks only $750
I you want a firmer ride use Dobinson shocks extra $50
At 3" you may need a castor kit.
Urethane castor kit $100
Rubber castor kit $175

I have the 3" EFS kit, no complaints with it, and as Johnz said, you will need the castor kit

I use to have a kit from JOHNZ its was awesome!!!!! Loved it but sold it cause i went to a 5 inch lift but would highly recomend the kit that JOHNZ sells. I did not use castor corection and it was fine.

If you are going to change your castor using off center bushes make sure you have access to a good press cause the toyota factory ones are a bit(h to get out!

I wouldn't consider the $100 poly castor correction bushes even though they are the better correction.
The rubber castor correction bushes were designed for a 2" lift but are still the better solution.

Dobinsons shocks are longer on the front then other brands but basically they are all just 2" lift shocks. so you are not getting any more flex then the old 2" lift. Obvioulsy there is no need for a longer brake hose with these shocks.

You can get Procomp shocks to suit the 3" lift but if you are after more flex then you should consider my flexy coils. You can then run 4" lift shocks.

For prices check out the mates rates kit on my web site.
