    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Drop it , the guy is clearly set in his opinion. No amount of typing will change it.

    OP, my lift makes my tires look pretty small. I realy dont care what ppl think of my truck so im just going to wait until i can afford new tires. Just my two cents.

    You do know that a lowered pre runner was a factory option from toyota right? It's called a "standard 2wd" truck [​IMG]

    Why spend more money than you needed to in order to have a fake 4x4, only then to spend MORE money to turn it back into a normal 2wd?

    OP a pre runner was just not made to lower. the suspension is just wrong for it. Should you waste your money on a lowering kit when you know you wany COs? Absolutely not, you almost answered your own question in the question. After you get everything done with the drop kit you will have spent probably half what the COs cost anyway. So just drive around stock until you have the money for what you know you want to have eventually.
