    I currently have a 3" Suspension lift on my truck (3" front, 1" rear block), and I was just wondering, does anyone know of a 2" body lift I can add to my truck? I would like to achieve 5 inches of lift. I have a 2006 Double Cab PreRunner.

    Thanks,
    John

    Ah, nevermind the question haha, I did a bit of research on body lifts and decided just to keep my 3" susp lift, but I might buy a 2" rear AAL. What would be a rough estimate of labor just to install a 2" rear leaf?

    Would you be able to do it yourself? Can your dad or a friend help?

    I don't think it is that complicated to do it.

    Yeah...It takes an hour or two if you do it with some help. I'm not sure what a shop would charge you.

    If you're doing it to clear bigger tires, don't even bother. The front cab mounts are where your issues will be.
