    I have a 2wd v6 07 trd off road and I'm looking to put in a lift to help a little off road and a little for looks but what height would be good? i like the look of a 6in lift but feel its practical. thoughts

    6inch lift is a good way to f-up these trucks. I wouldnt go higher than 3 inches.

    Yop. To many problems when one goes higher the price goes alot higher.


    Oh i didnt see that youre a prerunner. Go with a spidal lift, youll get 4inches without screwing your truck up

    the spindles are great, it also depends on what you want to do with your truck. if you want mild off-roading and street driving, spindles are the way to go.
    however, if you want to put a plate bumper up front it might make the coils a little stiffer 'cause the non-linear coils.

    it might help if you have a idea of what you want from your truck.

    wheel lugs, the 6 lugs are prerunner and 4x4
    the 5 lugs are the "mini"trucks

    i have the 6 lug cuz i have a prerunner. but the ideas that i hope to put on the truck is definitely a nice lift that will help with mid off road while still holding the street also in time a nice bumper with a winch so i can pull my 2wd off when i get stuck on trails haha with my 4x4 friends. but right now I'm looking for a nice lift set up.if i got the spindles what else would be good to go with it.
