emmetryan,
If money is an issue, the cheapest way to get a lift in your Grande is to retain the original Toyota TEMS shocks and just replace the front springs with 30mm to 35mm raised springs. The rear can be adjusted up by using 10mm spacers under the chassis mounted sensor brackets, or any competent workshop can adjust the rear sensors by 10mm to achieve a 30mm rear lift. Aim for a ride height of 780-785mm front and 800-810mm rear when measured from bottom of rim to guard and you'll be within limits for the standard shocks. This is providing you don't need new shocks.
I understand that you can't do the work yourself, so I suggest you go to your nearest Opposite Lock dealer and ask them for a quote. If your local Opposite Lock doesn't know how to tweak the Grande rear air springs (air bags), get them to call Opposite Lock Sydney South and ask Gordon.
If you need to replace the shocks, then make sure your rear shocks are less than 580-585mm extended length or you will need to do something to stop the air bags from dislodging from the bottom spring perch.
