Want to lift my tundra, but don't know where to start...

I have a 04 tundra srs 2 wheel drive (rear wheel). When I bought the truck about 7 months ago, the guy I bought it from, who is also my mechanic told me that it has a 3in lift.

As You can see the front is a lot lower then the rear. I want to try to put some height onto the front, to level it. But at the same time i want my truck to sit higher in general.

So can I add lifts onto each other?
And what should I be looking at to buy?

Thank You.

I want to stay under like $300 if thats even possible, if I have to go up in price a little bit more, i can. and i take my dirtbikes to and from races, so although i dont have 4 wheel drive, I do have to go offroad to get to these races, so i would like to gain more clearance in the front end.

There are no pics of the top coil bucket, so I can't see if there are spacers on it, but by judging the gap from the lower control arm and bumpstop, I agree with dissipator. It looks stock, bro. Do Bilstein 5100's, you'll get lift and new shocks up front (from the pics, it looks like you're long overdue on shocks).

That's it.. Just make sure they are for your truck. I didn't see anywhere that mentioned fitment. Forum member Keith @dirtydeeds sell 5100's also. You may want to contact him to see what kind of deal he may be able to cut you. I heard the gen 2 5100's are scarce. I haven't heard any issues with the gen 1's. I think around $250 for the fronts is fair. You may want to price shop the labor. Pretty much any shop with a spring compressor can do the job. The rears are easy.

I have a 2015 SR5 TRD Off Road 4x4 with the stock Bilsteins and was looking at this:

http://www.procompusa.com/suspension-product-details.aspx?pt=9333&pl=107753

It looks like it'd give me +1" in the rear and +3" to level me in the front, so overall a +1" lift and level front. Which my understanding is the best I can do without buying a full on lift kit which I was avoiding because of $ and I thought my Bilsteins were great and an upgrade that I paid for!

Any recommendations? I'm mostly pavement, not doing crazy off roading (maybe light every once in a while) and will be pulling a light ski boat or jet ski trailer in the future.

I'm wanting to get a little bit of lift and then pull the trigger on after-market tires/wheels (whatever best fits) to give my truck a more aggressive stance/look. Some Nitto G2s that stick out a little. You know, nice and meaner

Any advice greatly appreciated!
