lift kits

I need your help, I am kindof a newbie to the whole 4 wheel drive scene. I am looking to upgrade good ole' ralphie (my tacoma).
I need some advice on lift kits, i have been looking at the old man emu 2-2.5" kit, and the Downey off- Road 0-3.5" kit. problem is i have auto hubs and i know i cant lift it more than 2.5" in order to avoid cv axle problems. Any advice out there? any other kits you would reccomend??
thanks
