    Does anyone have an info on availability of air lift shocks (for example, Gabriel HiJackers) which will fit and work on 2015 Pre-Runners? Thanks.

    I had Firestone RideRites.... liked them. They work great, just understand that you will lose some articulation. You also have to cut off your snubbers to install them so there's no going back. You'll need to keep 5 psi in them at all times, so you'll feel a little bit of a ride change. With as bad as these Tacoma springs sag, 5 psi keeps you level or very slightly raked. I've never added more than 15 psi and that was while towing a large/heavy pontoon boat.

    Remember this when considering Gabriel's or other air shocks..... all of that extra lift is riding on the lower shock mount stud. I have had in years past, the hole in the differential bracket elongate due to weight. With an air bag, the weight is between the frame and the differential tube.
