Theres some 2" front spacers and a pair of leaf springs with add a leaf installed on craigslist right now in Tacoma for 40 bucks each (2 diff ads). Those would give you the clearance to run those 30s without rubbing.

Thanks wade, I'll check em out now. I think everyone got the wrong idea... what I'm looking for is people that went from a 3.5 inch lift to 6.5 inch lift and have the parts from there old lift that would like to sell for a REASONABLE price and live in western washington please contact me. I've called on a few things on craigslist... Such as a bumper yesterday and the guy wanted 500$ for what looked like a crappy home made bumper.

Keep checking craigslist, it can take a while but you can find some pretty good deals.

In the past few months I've picked up a winch bumper, 63MM bored TB, 5 33" BFG's, and a roof rack. All for under $500

So far I've only found young people trying to sell a pot of gold. So much JUNK on cragslist that people want top dollar / new retail price for.

Yeah, it can take some effort. I have craigsnotify on my android with a bunch of search strings setup and it updates every 30 minutes.
