    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I think I see a drop bracket. Anyone else confirm?

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    LOL I checked out this truck when I bought mine. I think it's way to much and so does everyone else. they have had this truck for months. I bought my truck from these guys they will cave they weren't going to come down for me so i said I was going to go somewhere else and I got my truck for what I wanted.

    Too much money for those miles. Also, (for me) the price would take another dip for the lift. Whatever you do, have the suspension checked out by an expert.

    I wold not spend over 10K if it was perfect. Even then, I'd hesitate because of the lift.

    What in the world do you mean??? If you read my post I simply say that you can let the guy know how to make a proper post but you don't have to be a Douche Bag about it!! Maybe the guy is new to this forum or doesn't know what is required to make a proper post, yes it may be common sense to you but maybe it just slipped the guys mind! How can you expect any courtesy to be extended to you when you need help if you don't extend other people some courtesy?

    I also would say skip it. I bought my '03 prerunner 2.7L Extra Cab in May for $11,750. It had 58,000 miles on the clock.

    I would also not entertain any truck that had suspension changes done to it. You just don't know what else someone did, too many variables. of course, now I'm doing my own small lift, but at least I know that I paid the money for good equipment and don't have to worry about inheriting someone else's mistakes.
