What trim level is it? The trim level will basically give you your starting point. Obviously, if you've just thrown down $40+K for a ton of options, you probably wouldn't want to start pulling those off.

Post up a picture, if it is a 2wd there is a 7" lift for it ,but you have to use spacers under the front coils,(been there done that) but it will give you the lift for cheap, spindles are the best way,.I have heard ,but not proven ,that the 09 4wd spindles are the same.if that is true, there are 4 inch spindles out already,

Are you going to take it off road a little? Even 4x2 can do some off roading, especially in the desert. Hell, that's what Toyota's PreRunners are named for.

There's urban "off-roading" as well. You put a ton of chrome, lift the hell outta it, put gigantic knobby tires, and then never so much as take it over the curb.
