Need Some Advice

So I took my new to me truck to get an opinion on some new shocks and struts for a small lift and to fix driver side lean.

Currently have Bilstein 4600’s installed. The previous owner took out the xreas system. Guy at the shop said this is stock height and there are no spacers installed anywhere but you can tell there’s no forward rake. I don’t want to raise it more than 1.5” but I want it level and I don’t want driver lean.

I was quoted $2500 for parts and install for 5100’s around all 4 sides and some new 1.5” coils for the rear.

Is that a fair price? Seems high to me. Should I just leave it as is and just install spacers to fix lean? Should I just get assembled front shocks and do it myself? If I do 5100s do I need to lift the back too? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Am I completely delusional?

I have been looking for a vehicle for 3 weeks now. I’m running out of time. I was looking for a Taco but I came across this. I used to have a 99 that rust bucket but I absolutely loved that thing.

This one is almost completely rebuilt. New engine 60k miles ago. The frame is immaculate. I’ve never seen one in better shape. It’s got a new rack and pinion. New ball joints upper and lower and a ton of other stuff redone.

Am I insane to pay this much even if it’s damn near perfect?
