I bought an 02 sr5 about 6 months ago and after spending literally days on this and other forums I've got the itch to lift it up to accomidate 32's (265/75/16's, I think, it's been a while since I looked it up) I've heard 32's will fit without a lift but I want a lift. My delima is do I go with a spacer lift, the OME lift or the Tundra/OME lift. It's a daily driver so I don't wanty to kill the ride quality. I know any of these options will change the ride but which will change it the least or give me the most comfortable ride? After this set of tires I may add a body lift and some 33" tires but that's down the road a bit. Biggest reason for not going with the 33's now is gas mileage and loss of power. I had a 92 runner for 8 years so I am enjoying the extra Pep right now. Thanks for your suggestions.
spacer, OME, or Tundra/OME?

If you just need an inch and you are on a budget you can get '99 coils from http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?siteid=840&catalogid=0 and for a good price vs the dealership (by alot).
I have the bigger tires and I have no issues with rubbing and I still have room around the tire. I just replaced my shocks and coils for $380 shipped from Conicelli Toyota and I'm very happy with the stock ride and it does the job on the trails I ride and it doesn't give it too much lift that your girlfriend/wife can't get in;mine complains a bit since the tires give it the extra inch.

I'm really looking for more than an inch. I want at least 2 or 2.5. It looks really low because of the running boards and fender flares. That's why I want either the 2.5 spacer lift or the OME. I just don't know which would provide the best ride quality. I've heard the spacers make for a stiff ride but I'm sure the OME or Tundra/OME lift will stiffen things up a bit too. Just wondering which gives the best ride.
Runner up. You would choose all OME over the Tundra/OME setup? How difficult is the instalation for the OME coils and shocks? I have access to a garage with all the tools I would need shy of a spring compressor but not much mechanical ability. Would I need the Diff drop kit with the OME setup?

you can also go with a coilover up front and the ome lift springs in the back.
