    Billies 5100's front set to 1.75 plus 1/4 taco lean spacer. Rears Billies plus AAL for a 2" leaf. 265/75/16 BGF's. Double din Kenwood stereo w/bluetooth and steering wheel controls and JBL speakers front & rear. Heavy duty battery. Billet grill blacked out. K&N air filter and MBRP cat-back. Just tuned it up new plugs and new front brake pads. Steel powered coated tailgate cap. Billet Grill painted black & factory roof racks. Oh new head lights thanks to toyota.
    See 2nd Pg for Pic's................OK its done and I’m happy w/the results. I have a 2010 Prerunner and the OEM suspension, well lets just say it sucks. So I installed 5100's front & rear. The fronts are set at 1.75 which made the front an inch higher then the rear. (Don’t listen to all the OP’s that say 1.75 will level the taco). Although it was just an inch I hated the look. And everyone who looked at my truck told me it was nose high. So I was thinking AAL until I read that it can make the ride too hard and not really add any support to the weak leaf spring. Then another member wrote me and told me about Wheelers off road add a lead support system. This system adds three leafs to the OEM spring which brings the rear up 1.5 inches and makes the old weak 3 leaf setup into a beefy 6 leaf spring. Now I'm sitting at 37"s in the front and 38"s in the rear and the ride is perfect. Feels more like a 1 ton truck firm but no harsh. And I don't think it will ever break under a heavy load. I'll try and post some pic's soon. OH and it looks level, even the step bar is level. Go figure.
    Thanks to everyone who supported these threads w/out adding “do a search” haha

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    I clay bared, and polished out the pin stripes on my truck. Followed up with some great sealant, and then put a final coat of wax on top. It really makes it look great.
