    new to the site and new to tacomas, 1998 prerunner TRD limited 2wd, my car was breaking down and i was in need of a truck for work, after searching all the dealerships around the area for something worth buying, i found nothing in my price range, the last day before i had to absolutely have a vehicle, i was on craigslist browsing tacomas in my range and i found this [​IMG] i was not originally looking for a lifted truck but this caught my eye, i emailed the person selling it and arranged for a meeting the next morning, we met up, i took it for a test drive, looked it over with a buddy (who has more knowledge about trucks than my self) and decided to go for it figuring that if i didnt like the lift i could resell or trade it for one without a lift. ive had it for 4 weeks now and i love it but i do honestly think im going to get smaller tires for it probably the BFG A/T 33's because i do have some wheel rub. it has a 3 inch suspension lift with a 3 inch body lift, i was wondering if it would be worth having it lowered since i don't really need a 6inch lift on a 2wd. my idea if possible is to have the body lift lowered like by 1 1\2" to 2" and probably put some 33's. here are more pix any feed back would be great.

    x2 Body Lifts are gross. Although I'm surprised that the 33s rub with a 3" suspension AND 3" body lift...
