    Me too but that doesn't tell me if you are 4 wheel drive or a Pre Runner. If you are a 4x4 a 4 inch lift is definitely a no no unless you do a Drop Bracket Lift

    No just sport. Not a 4x4 and thats good to know. I did not look into full lift kits so I have no knowledge in that area.

    Then you should look at Maxtrac Spindles if you are 2 wheel drive. Talk to @ChadsPride about it as he just did it a bit ago

    Like i said no knowledge in that area i assumed a 2" difference makes it level so i must be wrong. I am going to just stay with my front level im pretty happy with it and like how ive had no issues or crap from dealership

    Maxtrac 4" spindles & Dakar leaf packs

    Best bang for the buck on a 2wd truck.

    Gets you a good looking lift without the headaches.

    Thanks for the replies. I think ive gathered that even though Eibachs may give me the full 3" that i need, i would have less wheel travel. And a more harsh ride. The 887s sound like a much more reasonable option. Better ride, more travel, and still will have room for small top plate spacers if need be.

    Found this thread below, and grabbed some beers and it helped a lot...will order 887s as soon as i solve my carrier bearing shudder driveline angles. I have 1.5° and 2° rear axle shims on the way. Already tried CB drop with no success. Also already have ECGS bushing. Cheers

    For some reason, and as much of your stuff I've read, I never realized you had a 2wd. :anonymous: But DAMN that looks good!

    Meh, I just don't have the need for it really.

    Besides, it's so much easier to lift a 2wd truck.

    And, all my buddies have the sweet ass 4x4's that I can hitch a ride with.

    Best of both worlds for me
