Thanks.. and yeah I've been told that its going to cost a lot. i was thinking the trail gear kit for an 86-95 could probably work if i just put a piece of rectangle tubing connecting the frame in the front then i could just weld the spring perches to that....?

There is not off the shelf kit specifically for a 2wd Tacoma.  The Front Range one is probably the closest, but you are going to have to fabricate a few things and figure out how to make some stuff fit.  If you give Brian at Front Range a call he may have some more info on 2wd swaps that isn't available on his website.

FYI:  Infernal is running full width axles.  I believe that the Sky kit is set up for Dana 44 spring mounting width, though they may offer Toyota as well.  The AllPro kit is pretty specific to their hybrid axle.  So if you're wanting to use stock Toy axles the Front Range kit is again your best bet.
