It's nice to have the factory locker instead of having to retrofit one in it.
If money's tight then you should go with something other than the BFGs and while they are great off road there's much better choices for daily drivers and much cheaper. Yokohama Geolandars through Discount Tire cost almost $60 less per tire and have a mileage warranty and I've had experience with both and the Yoks also handle much better on wet and dry pavement.
I'm getting ready to do Bilstiens and PP spring lift (cost the same as OME but I've never heard of the PP springs settling like some people have experienced with the OMEs) and am still deciding between the Yoks or Nitto Terra Grapplers ($30 cheaper per than BFGs) for my rubber.

how much lift do the PP springs and bilstiens give you. I have heard that its a very stiff ride as well. I just did my friends 4runner with the ome and he got around 3", after settling i imagine hell end up with about 2.5" around, or a little less in the front. But money is tight because im in school and too lazy to get a job haha. Hopefully this summer ill feel up to working

I've ridden in one Runner with that setup and it was definetly firmer than stock but not harsh and didn't have that rebound in the rear going over train tracks and such. Others have said the ride might be harsh to some but then again remember it's a truck. If your truck is solely a pavement pounder then it might be a bit much but the setup is nice for mild to medium off roading and while the springs net 1" of lift when coupled with the Bils most Runners will see 1.75"-2" of lift. The PP springs are also progressive rate which makes your Runner handle cornering better.
I'm leaning toward the Bils/PP setup but I'm also considering the OME from http://sleeoffroad.com/products/tacoma_suspension.htm#4 Runner since they are just 15 miles up north from me.
