    i highly doubt that the lift spindles your talking about will fit a 5 lug

    and to the op--no you never want to stack lifts unless its body/suspension. you never want suspension/suspension or body/body. put to much stress on suspension componets to stack lifts

    before you get fucked over doing what i did i will tell you some info.

    i bought the donahoe racing coilover kit for the prerunner and had the thing in a shop being installed but they couldnt get it on. thats when I learned we had different frames.

    the only solution we have for a moderate lift is readylift or fat bobs approx 2.75". recommended to replace the upper control arm with the Total chaos arm as our coils are angled differently than a prerunner.

    you have two mid travels, being the SAW coil-over and the Icon 5 lug coi-over both with 2.5" of adjustable lift with MORE travel. you will require the TC UCA for this.

    now your only option at a large lift is the Total Chaos Long travel which will give 4" actual lift w 14" of travel. this kit runs around 5-7k

    now tire wise. you can run 33" tires with the spacer but will require cutting of the fenders or removal of your fr bumper.

    with the TC kit you can clear 33"s no problems and possibly 35"s. I havent seen it done yet.

    I had gone through much heartache upon finding out about the frame issue.

    but their is always a silver lining mate. We get better gas mileage. and we don't compensate for shit!

    we have leaf under axle buddy.

    and it looks like you have a small spacer and an extra leaf imo but what you need to check is if their is a device attached between your coilover top and the metal n shaped plate it bolts into

    i might be new here too but i dont think any would object to the fact that BODY LIFT IF BAD IDEA.... just stick with 3 in suspension and youll have no worries..

    if im not mistaken you said you had a 4cyl... putting 6'' (3s and 3body) you will fill the underpower and stain on the moter..

    my advice is 3 suspension

    Yea there is a Pickup outfitters near where I live. They sell grilles and front bumpers so maybe I can get one made like that cause the guy he bought from a guy in Arizona and I live in Texas lol. And do u think discount tires can find me a set of rims that would work?
