    I sat it next to my buddies 2wd prerunner and the front ends are equal but his rear end sits about an inch higher. I was thinking about swithing my current leaf pack out with a stock pre runner leaf pack and shocks if it will fit.
    thank you sir, I just installed the stereo, bed side stickers, and 6000k HID's. I love this truck now!:cool:

    should pick up some OEM style fog lights off ebay they are usually about $80 and pretty simply to install if you have basic wiring skills

    Decided against ordering It. From all the reviews I have seen and People I have talked to, Its not worth the money. No major increase in power, Just makes the Engine sound louder. So I decided to save up for re-gearing and a no slip in the future.
