I'd get the coilovers for the front and add-a leafs for the back if all you want is 3". Highly recommend getting the diff. drop as well.

www.toyteclifts.com they have what your looking for, go with a new spring dont cheap out and get spacers unless you really have too, coilovers are a lot of money but they are they best, you schould only need a dif drop if you go with a full 3inches, at 2.5 you will be ok without it....and you schould still be able to run 33's
