Is it stupid to lift a 2x4???

I have an 07 double cab prerunner 2wd 6 lug. I have thought about maybe doing a lift but not sure. I am looking for some input. Also if I did lift it maybe 3" or so mainly just for looks what is the best route to go?

 

its not stupid, a lot of guys here have their prerunners lifted

you can go the add a leaf + bilsteins 5100 on the front route for a good 2-3" lift...

 

yes its stupid

 

You do what makes you happy. Being a prerunner you can go whatever size your little heart desires.

 

I think the 3" lift looks great, but anything over that looks silly.

 

Do you see me laughing?

 

No stupider than lifting or lowering any other vehicle. If you want to do it, do it. It will increase your clearance (which it sounds like you don't need). If you're just doing it for looks and have no intentions of pounding it, just get a cheap spacer lift (like $225), some bigger tires, black everything out, turn up the stereo, and cruise to the mall to hit on chicks.

 

nope but my sarcasm meter is on point today

 

Lifting a 4x2 is like neutering your dog - after you are done and you look underneath it you realize it has no balls.

 

yeah x2 prerunners suck just look at jdkellers truck or derekabrahams truck.. both lifted prerunners... its pointless

 

cmon guys, the guy is asking for help.... yes, the intro of the thread was not very good, but lets concentrate on the lift thing...

 

How long did it take you to come up with that one?

 

No its not dumb. I'll be goin w/ a OME lift from toytec.

 

yep hahaha no

 

In a flash of brillance the words finally flowed.

But it has been on my mind for a decade.

 

ok,



my truck is prerunner (4x2) and i lifted it. i dont off road (anymore)

lots of people do it. And either way it looks good.

i say go for it


i would stay away from spacers.
and if money is tight

i would go with Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks in the front set at 2.5" of lift. and then an add a leaf for the back to level it out.

thats what i did and just by looking at it it looks like its a 3" lift AND you do it in a quality way for a lot cheaper than spacers
