    Hey guys,

    I just recently bought my 2015 PreRunner and since it's mostly a pavement pounder, I stuck with the 2WD... however, I seem to need more clearance whenever I do truck things :/

    Can you guys give me a few pointers and recommendations to start out? I was hoping to compliment the lift with a little larger tires as well.

    Thanks in advance.

    Spindles are the best way to lift a 2wd. Bad part is the minimum is 3.5", but the 4" maxtrac are much cheaper. If you're looking for a 4" lift that's the way to go.

    Ideally I'd like to throw 33s on it in the near future

    For a ~2" lift, would I need to replace my UCAs to use 5100s w/OME 884 (or 883) coils on the front end? I'm thinking about getting some alcans in the rear since Toyota keeps dragging their feet on the 2nd gen rear leaf recall (as if it's tough to fix a leaf spring design and replace that part of a truck...).
