Thank you Geezer for your advice. I will stick with the stock 4x4 till I decide I need more(likely will not happen with how the members talk).
Pennyman, thank you for the link. Winner. Expensive but I bet a very long living solution. The lift info is extremely useful. And inch or two is all I feel I need. To much is definitely to much. My old Yota Had a spring over, 2" blocks, a 2" body lift, and big tires. The view was great, and the ride exciting, but occasionally a bit to exciting at high speed. The lift seemed to kill my economy and likely effected durability.
My truck has manual locking hubs. I am taring them down today as I found I have bad bearings when preparing to fix a stuck caliper by rebuilding the front break system completely. It took a little over a week to get the parts into the store. Still short a set of pads but it is time to get started. Last time the bearings were replaced, whoever did it lost four bolts and just didn't feel like replacing them. Just a silly amount of hack repairs.
I have been soaking the bolts with penetrating oil for the last three days as I am fairly afraid of those tiny allen screws. They look long, little, crusty, and having had many arguments with bolts set in aluminum before, I fear for their removal. Slow and steady wins the race.
This forum has been great. You are all great! So helpful. I hope I can get to the point where I can be as helpful around here as you all have been.
I started my rebuild thread when I got started here. This is the link:

It took a few days to get the post reviewed by a moderator. But it is up and available now.
I will have the photos up in the not to distant future. I should have adjusted the f stop but didn't realize because of the bright sun. They are a bit over exposed.
Anyone know if a guy can find a floor pan replacement? Preferably just the driver side, but maybe a full pan might be a good idea.
