    2013 Prerunner TRD Sport
    Hey everyone,

    I recently bought a 2013 TRD Sport Prerunner long bed. I am wanting to level the truck and have been looking all around on this forum to find the best route. I dont plan on off roading and I live in the south so no snow down here.

    Truck specs are:

    LR - 22 1/4
    LF - 20
    RF - 20 1/2
    RR - 22 1/4

    The options I have seen are:

    Strut Spacers - Seem to be the cheapest route and have the most divided fanbase

    Spindles - Since I have a 2WD, this seems to be a decent option, but would need blocks in the back and that also has a divided fanbase

    Last option is upgrading the suspension entirely. I feel like this is the route everyone usually agrees as the best option. If I go with the new suspension, I am undecided on just upgrading just the front with 5100's and new OME coils. I know the UCA requirement is around 2.5 inches and up, but would it be recommended to upgrade them anyway?

    I guess my real question is if I plan to just level the truck for looks, would just the new 5100s and OME coils be a safe option or do I just need to do a full upgrade and get new UCA's, 5100s for the rear and a new leaf pack?

    Just 5100s in the front with new coils is around $600 whereas the full option with 5100's all around, new coils, new UCA's, and leaf pack on Headstrong is $1200.

    Thanks

    If you just want the look, I would go with the strut spacer kit, however you should know that there are a few happy mediums between strut spacers.
    A preload kit will be similarly priced to a spacer lift kit, but it will not ruin your ride quality like a spacer kit will.
    also you can get new coilovers on toytec.com that will use your stock struts and just replace the coils resulting in a bit of a lift.
