You can get a basic 2-2.5" Bilstein/OME suspension lift kit shipped from a place like Wheeler's for more like $750 out the door (at least that's what it was a year+ ago - I hear there may be shortages now). If you are in the Bay, check out Discount Tires on El Camino in Milbrae. They know what they are doing - both times I went there (initial install of some 265/75/16 MTs and again for the free rotation/re-balance) the techs drove lifted Tacos and were down with the program. I already had spacers on and they didn't balk. They will price-match and when I showed them the ridiculously low Walmart.com price on my phone they matched it happily. I'm guessing if you shop carefully for tires, you'll still have 1000 to spend after a quality suspension lift and rubber.
Then you could go dumb on a high quality full length rack (or a half-rack might do for $500) or spread the money around on a grip of other useful mods and a cheap rack. Just some ideas.
