    I'm driving an 04 extended cab prerunner 6 lug and I'm planning on doin a lift soon. I know for sure I'm goin thru toytec and choosing the 3 in lift, I just don't know which one or which options. I definitely want to eventuality get the full OME kit, but that's down the road. So right now, I'm tryin to decide between these options:

    Front: new coils, new shocks and coils, 3 inch spacers

    Rear: new extended shocks are a given, so...
    Aal's or shackles?

    Please, any help and opinions. Thanks!

    R: AAL, those stock leafs could definitely use some support.

    I'm guessing the green is good and the red is bad? :confused:
    I'd love to go with the Dakar pack but that's bookoo money

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Rear leaf will be easy to install later down the line when money becomes available cause it doesn't require a spring compressor or alignment but I always tell everyone to save up and do it once.
