Simple Lift

[ILIR]

Proud new owner of a 2012 SR5, and would like to get some help on lift recommendations. Im looking to do something mild, I just need a little more ground clearance because I drive on the beach sometimes for surf fishing and the area I frequent has big rocks and soft sand, had a close call last year with my xterra. What would be my least expensive, least intrusive option?

Thanks for your help!

OK been catching up on my reading, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to these things so please bare with me. It looks like I want either front bilstein 5100s adjusted to 1.75" on standard suspension or the toytec 2.5" leveling kit. I'm a little confused because I see that some people reported the front end was too high with the front bilstein shocks and had to get 1.5" spacers for the rear. Would it be safe to say that if I went with toytec 2.5" leveling kit that I would not have to get anything else to make NY 4runner look and ride correct? Also what will provide the more improved handling, bilstein shocks, or leveling kit? Thanks again, and I apologize for being that guy that asks the same question for the 2 billionth time :/

Disregard, found the thread that pretty much answered my question. Just one more thing now, can I use the leveling kit AND the bilstein 5100's together and are there any CONS to doing so?
