I've never lifted a Toyota. All the guys I've ridden with who pilot them buy an old Toyota and swap in a solid front axle.
I'll share my opinion here too, having lifted a Chevy and a Dodge truck (mild) and a Jeep (modded):
Going off-road means breaking stuff and scratching stuff, at a minimum, unless you just roll down dirt roads that are maintained (no limbs to reach out and grab your paint)
Lifting something and lifting something right are two different things. Doing it right on newer rides may cost upwards of 6K unless you want a curb crawler (and there's nothing wrong with curb crawlers, they look hot.)
It is expensive in terms of daily operation, and it also pisses of lien holders and insurance companies.
If I had a new Toyota and had to get it up a little, I would search for a budget boost for my model. "BBs" normally get you a few inches so that bigger tires and aftermarket wheels don't eat up the fenders.
As far as full-on systems, Rubicon Express has never done my Jeep wrong. I don't know who the big dog is for Toyota. I would visit the Toyota off-road forums out there and read up on what the experts have to say. That's a damn fine truck you have.
