2008 BSP SR5 DC LB 4x4 (stock for now) 2008 Double Cab Automatic
$950 - Camburg Spindles
$300 - Bilsteins all around
$375 - All Pro 3" Leaf pack
$170 - OME Springs
$60 - Extended brake lines

Under 2K for approximately a 6 inch kit?

Maybe after market UCA's?

Just a thought.

I was thinking about doing this but then I found out spindles can't be put on a 4x4.

you can get the spindles and get 4", then get up to another 3 inches of lift from your coilovers. very easy.
do prerunners even have a crossmember? i thought that was only 4x4s

If you did the Total Chaos or Camburg lift spindles though, you would have a straight bolt on lift.
Why would the cross member need to be cut, if there is no diff in the front?

A spindle lift requires no cutting, a drop bracket lift requires you to cut the front cross member.
The only reason the cross member needs to be cut, is to lower the front diff, and give it clearance. No front diff = not nessesary to cut the crossmember. The added crossmember simply bolts under the existing one.

A spindle lift requires no cutting, a drop bracket lift requires you to cut the front cross member.
thats a 4x4.... prerunners will not have a drop bracket, there is no diveline in the front to need dropping.

According to the instructions on page 8 it says no cutting of the cross member on 2wd.

So I guess I would not be cutting the cross member.
