    Welcome to TW.

    1) Look around the builds in here.

    2) Figure out what your intended purpose of the truck build will be. Form over function, woods over sand, mud over ice, articulation over clearance.....etc etc.

    3) Consider your budget.

    4) Buy lift accordingly.

    Very simple when these steps are followed. The people who don't follow them....well they work out sometimes, but most times you just watch people waste um-needed money on their truck to replace already new items because they bought wrong. A well planned strategic build will win every time. Not only are they quicker to actually do they save money allowing other mods to be done.

    A few. Don't recall what all companies do spindles. But they generally give 4" in the front (prerunner only)

    Lifting creates all sorts of problems to pop up. Think about what you want the lift for. Are you going to do serious rock crawling? If its for looks, try starting with a winch and a supercharger:)
