Nope

 

I kick myself for not jumping. On the 2002 v6 extend cab die 5 m grand!! But I passed that up for a 96 for 3500!

 

That CL add actually kinda disappoints me. I thought my truck was still worth more than that.

 

Lol don't sell yourself short cause of one add. Craigslist is full of weird fucking g people. I eve bought a 1997 civic hatch back for 500 bucks m, fir 1200! Sold it 3 weeks b later for 2500

 

Hey Corey!

That's funny.

But I might.

 

How you doing bud?

 

Good man. How have you been?

 

great actually minus the gf..

I'm graduating in December now so pretty stoked. School is almost out (kinda freaking about finals) but I think I got 100 on my test today in the class with the bad teacher

 

Well Jack is alive...

 

As in you're single now?

That's awesome about your grade and early graduation, man. Congratulations!

...and kicking.

 

I honestly dont know.. this morning she told me she needed space and then when I went to talk to her she said she wanted to be alone the rest of today

 

But only with one leg still

 

I'm sure he has 3 legs! Two works

 

So I posted in the Suspension forum looking for some recommendations for thelift and upgrade on suspension parts and was hoping I could get some info fromyall.

I have a 2001 2WDDouble Cab Prerunner with 126,000 miles.

Going with Bilstein5100 set at 2.5 in the front with Front shock replacement bushing/washer kitfrom Toytec.For the rear I am using a 1"block with new u bolts and going to replacethe shock with something off RockAuto.

Don't want to gettoo far into the rear suspension because I have a bad right leaf spring (ITHINK) and don't want to fork out the money for new leafs and the problem notbe a leaf.

I bought thisused in 2006 and never had any alignment issues.


Could someoneplease recommend a rear shock other than a Bilstein and do I have everything Iwill need for my lift??


I’ve decided toget the LBJ and UBJ from Toyota Parts Overstock.com because of everything I’veread on the forum and the pics posted with it. They also are cheaper even withshipping compared to my local Toyota dealership.

Going with MOOGfrom RockAuto for TRE’s unless yall can show me something I haven’t seen.


I’m ordering newbolts for the LBJ’s so I know everything is new.


I’m based out ofGalveston and live in Dickinson and will hopefully be doing the work with a friend who has at leastswitched out the Bilstein’s before. Hopefully if our schedules match up we willbe able to figure it out and get everything installed before I transfer out inabout a month.


Anyone that wouldlike to lend a hand that has done this before I’d really appreciate the help.

Did I mention I make my own BEER?!?!

 

This was all I read

 

Where are you at in Houston? If you want to go the add a leaf route instead of the block I could probably hook you up with some old leafs I have laying around. I went that route on my truck and I'm very pleased with it. Blocks and questionable leafs are just asking for trouble.

I don't usually spend much on rear shocks. It's leaf suspension anyway so if you're just driving up and down the highway something from the autoparts store will work. You will probably need to go longer than stock even for 2-3 inches of lift. I have some auto zone cheepos and can't complain about them.

Did I mention I like BEER???

Edit: My ADD or something is bad tonight I didn't read well. I see you're in Galveston/Dickinson area.

 

Do it!!!
