It all depends on the amount of money your're willing to spend. A great setup would be to get some type of performance coilovers like Donohoes, Sway-A-Ways, Fox, etc. for the front. These will run you from about $600 to $1000 and over. As for the rears you can get custom leaf packs from Deaver or Alcan and those will run you another $500-$700.

If you're a cheapie, Fabtech makes a good all around kit, not sure how much those run, you'll have to check up on that yourself. Below is a link to all the pros and cons of the different suspension setup for you, hope it helps you out.

Hey Bro,
86 Yota P-ups have IFS w/Shocks up front, and Leaf rears. No struts or coilovers to be found on these. How high did you want to go?

Check out Downeyoff-road.com-They have a moderate 1.5-2inch lift which is the new front torsion bars and a pair of rear leafs. I think the whole kit runs about $350.00.

You can check out wheelersoffroad.com as well.
