    Take some pics of the suspension. There is good possibility both ends have sagged some. I know my front is lower than original due to 135k on the clock.

    You could try to find some takeoffs from a 3rd gen sport/offroad (these guys get a brandnew truck and immediately rip the trd susp off for another $6k+ ;)) one mans trash is anothers treasure as they say

    Shocks/springs (which do the lifting in front) and sometimes rear leafs if they got em. Depending on your engine, if its 4x4 or not you'll get anywhere from .5" to 1.25" in the front - and itll ride fantastic & feel new

    I found takeoffs for less than $200 to put on my 120kmi 2015 PreRunner and couldn't be happier with the result

    Thank you. Another person suggested the same thing. If I can get a better ride, that would be fantastic. The front lift is for esthetic and not as important. Do you have any tips for searching for these takeoffs?

    I crawled under and took these on the passenger side to show front and rear suspension.

    I can't tell for sure but it looks like you have 5100s on there. Maybe some of the more astute suspension members will weigh in. Generally 5100s have been known to firm up the ride compared to OEM. With that said, it's a popular setup.

    Crawled under again and cleaned the front shock. It looks like a KYB.
