Hey, I grewup in SoCal. I totally get the lowering and lifting of car and trucks. I am a product of cruising Main Street in Ventura during the early 80's. I can never leave the ride height stock, it is a genetic problem. My only caution to lifted 4x2s is that it won't make it an instant 4x4 because you lift it.

If you are lifting to go offroad then take your lift money and your Prerunner and trade it for a 4x4.

If you want it improve the looks, go for 3".

I support both options.

Damn you, you promised not to tell everyone. See if you getting any when you get home tonight!

 

Hahaha, love it!!

 

Hey guys just my .02: seems to me a lot of prerunner hit it hatder than a lot of the 4x4 drivers here (not saying all) so let's stick with helping the guy out.

I'm a prerunner open diff, I'm lifted up front with camburg spindles and 5100 coilovers. I have the aal in the back with 5100 shocks. Easiest and cheapeast route is the 5100 adjustable front shocks that offer up to 2.5" lift. The most I would go in front is 3 inches otherwise you risk cracking and breaking your shocks and other things. Adding a leaf is the easiest for the rear.

For the front you have to keep in mind when going over 2.5 you might need uca's which are just an extra expense. There's a lot of info on lifting 2wd just do a search! Hope this helps some

 

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan used to lift 2x4s all the time! *rimshot*




But to answer the question, no, it's not stupid to lift a 4x2. Do what you want, OP. And to hell with the rest of us.

 

OP, you can lift your truck. A lifted Tacoma is sweet!

 

Do it!! I have a lifted prerunner...

 

Lift it..

 

Thanks for all the info and for not ripping on me to bad. it would be for looks i never have the time to off road. I have seriously considered trading for a 4x4 but buying a car is like pulling teeth at the dealership where i live!!!

 

I've lifted my PreRunner. I wheel it pretty hard.



No need for 4x4 in SoCal.

 

Prerunners are for girls. Their incapable of doing Jack shit. Look at JD and Dereks truck, both perfect examples of uselessness.

I <3 my lifted prerunner.

Prerunners are junk...to be honest I don't even like Tacomas

Just lift it man, f what anyone else thinks. It's your truck. Many of us have very capable prerunners that's are lifted.
