Lift confusion

So I've caught the mod bug after only owning my T4R for a month and a half. I've been reading through all of the lift guides on this site and others, but I'm still slightly confused.

I know that for my front I want to go with 5100's and the Toytec 521600 spring. This should prevent nose dive and make it handle better I'm hoping.

For the rear, the geared side of me wants to go all out, but I really doubt I'll off road much, find rough enough terrain, or even have the time to do either. So I'm thinking of just a spacer in the back for now, but what size do I need to keep it leveled out with the front? Also, would putting a longer coil in, such as a Superflex, do the same thing as putting a spacer on my stock coils?

A few notes to help, I don't have a bumper or roof rack, but I do have the third row. I also plan to keep my stock size tires on for 6mos to a year unless I get a raise, as they are almost brand new and I'm having a hard enough time to pay for the lift. How will this look?

I'd really appreciate any help you guys could give me, I'm itchy to get this modding going. :bat:

You could just do 5100s all around and set the front to .75 and reuse stock springs on all four corners. It will be similar pricing to doing the 5100+coils in the front spacer in the back and will probably achieve what you are after if you don't wheel it much and want to remove some nose dive and improve handling. Best bang for your buck and better than spacers for when you do want to either go bigger for bigger tires or begin wheeling. At that point you could go to new springs all around and improve it even more.
 
Thanks bimrunner! I just ordered all 4 5100's and can't wait to get them in! I did also order a set of 1.5" Daystar spacers since they are so cheap.

I saw a pic of BatangSMB's TE with his 5100's at 1.75" in front and a 1.5" spacer in back with stock tire size and absolutely fell in love.
