    I want to lift my 2005 2WD access cab and a guy in my area is selling these-48510-ad061 for the front only.

    I have the rear suspension lift cost sorted out if I buy these.

    I have searched everywhere and I can't figure out if these will fit my 5 lug.

    The springs look short maybe 8", the seller in unsure.

    I'm looking for a 2.5" lift minimum over stock height.

    Or should I go with the Rough country?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Never, ever let Les Schwab touch your suspension.

    As for your question, they should fit if you're a PreRunner.

    5100s with stock coils would be a good option if you're on a budget.

    I really don't want to spend much if I can help it.

    I live in the city now and never go off road.

    The lift is for esthetics only.

    I was assuming you are in Oregon, and when someone mentions getting a Rough Country lift in the PNW, they're usually thinking of having Schwab do it.

    If your rig is a PreRunner, you should look into what is called a spindle lift. I know nothing about it, but it seems pretty popular on here with the PreRunner crowd.

    It's not the PreRunner, just the base access cab 2WD.

    It only has 9000 miles on it and is totally mint.
    I bought it for a song from an old guy that lost his sight.
    I planned to flip it but I've grown fond of it and now I think I will keep it.

    My guess is that they won't fit. You should ask in the 5-Lug forum though. The guys there will be more knowledgeable on the subject.
