Do Prerunners have the same ride height/clearance as their 4WD counterpart?

I found a low mile 09' 4cyl, reg cab Prerunner for sale.


Do they have the same springs, shocks and ground clearance as the 4wheeler model?

 

yes

 

YES

However - If you find a set OEM double cab springs and put them on your regular cab, you'll probably see 1" lift. Atleast, that was the 'rule of thumb' on the 1st gen trucks.

 

4x4's and prerunner are the same minus prerunners not having the 4wd part.

 

I went from a prerunner to a 4x4 and they're the same.

 

I believe everybody is correct but when you start comparing TRD Sport vs TRD Off-road, then the shock valving & spring type are different.

 

And they are just as capable off road, Dammit!

 

I drive mine like it is and hasnt let me down but once...in some sand

 

I just had to throw that in there. Sand is a bitch.

 

yes it is. I was out in BFE and luckily there was a couple fishing a little ways off and I got him to pull me out after I tried digging myself out using a flip flop haha now that I look back I was such a newb

 

A flip flop?

 

Sand is my bitch!

I have a Prerunner and I never get stuck......anymore

 

lol yea, it was either that or a fishing pole.

 

The flip flop was an excellent choice then.

 

You are my hero.

 

haha thanks. I guess I could have taken off my engine cover and used that. that would have been the only thing usefull it woud have ever done

 

OK, I know it's an old thread but I'm bumping rather than starting a new one. I feel like my DCSB 4x4 OR is way closer to the ground than the prerunners I see around town. It's definitely much lower than the 1st gens (my coworker has one and parks next to me). What's the deal here? You'd think this thing would have gotten higher clearance than a sport prerunner, but that's certainly not the case...kind of annoying...

 

Maybe the 4X4 gear weighs it down or something, who knows, but I wouldn't think it would be that noticeable.

Solution: LIFT THAT BITCH!

 

I know this is a older post. Sorry to the OP.

I have a 06 pre-runner trd sport. Just a little over 100K.
If I replace the fronts with 2011 trd off road spring and shock, What effects or changes would I get?

What is the difference between the springs.
Change in height?
Change in ride.

Am I better off reusing the sport springs?

This is a daily driver.

Thanks
