    Welcome!

    And a 4" lift is relatively easy and inexpensive compared to some since you are a PreRunner.

    Spacers up front, thats it...:-(
    Ok so i am new, to this forum(and forums in general) and new to my recently purchased 05 dbl cab sb w off road package. The truck came with a around a 2" spacer up front, and it has these "helper springs" in the rear that sit above the actual leaf pack. I bought a tuff country add a leaf kit and am wondering if i should leave the "helpers" on, or take them off when i do the aal tmrw....

    Hmm. I can get them up soon, they basically arch the opposite way of the leaf pack and attach with a set of rollers, i dont think they ll interfere in any way, but im wondering if having both would be a bit too stiff in the ride department....
