    Why would you lower a prerunner in the first place? And if you want it done take it to a custom shop since it will have to be a custom drop

    Personally I needed a 4-door long bed auto. My kids are small still so lowered is better suited to my lifestyle. Don't anticipate any errands that would require extra ground clearance so I got the pre runner and lowered it. Calling it a custom drop is like calling lift kits custom lifts. It comes out of a box, bolts in and then there's issues to deal with. I figure I make use of the lower ride height daily. 90% of the guys that lift their trucks make use of that investment ... maybe twice a month? 75% of them don't even get mud on them? I don't ask why people do things because over half the time its cause its just what appeals to them. As long as people don't half ass things or just do it cause their buddy's doing it I can still appreciate their work.

    4cyl .If it had a v6 I would think about getting one. Nah lowering the prerunner was fun. Had hot rods my younger days and was fun working on cars.Dont need a slammed truck. Lot of nice ones out there but just need a daily driver not worry about hitting bumps and driveways etc

    Saw one nice on H1 by Moanalua park one day.silver I think.(Hawaii guys)

    If I recall, there wasn't a 5 lug 4 door longbed when I went shopping. Came back from tad and had a week to find a replacement vehicle. I would've really liked a white trd sport but servco didn't have any.

    For pre runners, I'm trying out the light racing upper control arms to see if that'll help with the camber. The ball joints I got were the wrong ones but it still appears the control arms may have enough adjustability for lowering pre runners. I'll make a better evil in about a week or so after I get the correct ball joints and get alignment.

    talk to hemitruk. his uses mostly off the shelf stuff.

    best place to start looking is tundra racing and xii performance.
