turbo 05 prerunner trd off road DC

Bw s256 turbo with 3 in glass pack dumped pre axle raptor liner bed and top rails and fenderflares and rocker panels. Hunter side steps. Plasti-dipped upper fenders and emblems. satin black spray paint here and there inside and out. 5100's set to 1.75" up front . C channel front bumper. Maxxis bighorn 255/85/16

My buddy wants a small lift. He has an 04 dcsb OR prerunner, and i told him to look at the 5100's when he said he was looking at a rough country new shackle and rear shock with 2.5" spacers up front. I notice there is only 3 notches for first gens and the middle one is 1.25??? Can anyone post pics with 1.25 up front amd stock in back? Thanks just trying to give him a good idea of finished product
