lifting a prerunner

okay, i really want to do a 3 inch lift on my truck with some 20s.

what kit is the best to use for a prerunner?

also is it a stupid idea to lift a prerunner, ive had people question me already why do you want to lift a 2 wheel drive truck? i just dont sit high enough i want to sit higher!

any good advice?

keep in mind this is your truck you do what you wish with it. I don't have any advice, sorry.

 

It's not stupid to lift it... (BTW: many threads on this very subject).

Check out and for lift ideas.

 

Yeah people will assume you have a 4x4 truck and its point less to lift a 2wd and really theres nothing wrong with it. Im redoing my lift with a fox racing setup and i can give a crap if someone gives me crap i still have fun like a 4x4 truck would. What are you trying to achieve with the lift just want a better stance?

 

I lifted my '09 Prerunner. I have the 3" Toytec adjustable coilovers w/ Toytec 2" AAL and 5125 shocks. Rides great. Currently on stock dinky tires until I can make my mind up on tires and wheels.

I raised it cuz I can! I never go offroad, but love a high stance. I had a 07 Z71 and never used 4x4. I could have bought a 4x4 taco but I was honest with myself and saved the money.

 

im fixing to lift my prerunner....i could give a damn what other people think

 

Exactly why I bought a Prerunner... lol

I had a lifted 4x4 Durango that I took offroad exactly twice in the 2 years I owned it...

 

thanks guys, im definately going to go thru with it, i did the exact same thing got 2wd to save money but i just want a higher stance i still feel as tho im sitting to low to the ground and im short too im only 5' 6'' LOL

well now its time to start ordering the stuff i need for the lift.

I have never lifted a truck before. Because i always remember having to change brake lines and steering boxes and spindles and drive shafts. But the Toytec lifts dont show any of that stuff. Is it really just a matter of shocks and springs to lift a pre runner 2-3 inches?

 

Lift it! My prior 2001 Tacoma was a 4x4 and I hardly used it, so i went with prerunner this time and I love it. My insurance really didn't change, price was cheaper, and lift was cheaper for a prerunner.

 

Here is my truck- 3" Fox coil over kit with 20" BMF's and Toyo M/t's

 

Go for it man! I had to save money too,by getting a pre-runner instead of the 4x4. I'm lifting mine soon! Do a little off-roading at the huntin' camp.. I can't Fkn Wait!!

 

downsouth badass truck you got there!

im def doing it now since i saw that...mine is white also!

 

I wish downsouth motorsports was closer to where I live.. I would love for them to install my 3" lift. I hear they are awesome!
