    Cool man, depending on how long they are out of stock I may just have to do just the billies. Not going to lift it till June anyways so hopefully they will be back.

    Yeah man, please let me know how it rides!

    Well it would only be temporary till the eibachs come back in stock but I wouldn't care anyways. My stock springs have 229k on them so I'm not worried about ruining them (more) haha.

    i wouldn't, mainly because as said that would fuck up the cv's...and also the billies are made for 3" of lift...that would be at least 4", so you would fuck up the shock

    Seeing that I have a Prerunner, would I be fine running this combo on the second and maybe even the top notch without putting too much strain on the rest of the front end? I'm going to be strictly mall crawling with a few dirt/rock roads here and there. I had the 5100/eibach combo on my 01 DC 4x4 and I had to trim a ton in order to not rub with 33x12.5. So I'm assuming if I bump it up a notch or two I'd be able to clear 33x12.5 without having to trim for mall crawling purposes?

    I still wouldn't recommend it. You would be maxing out the strut and it would ruin it. Not to mention it would probably ride rough as shit with that much preload on the eibach.

    im going to say no, especially for the top one. The shock is not designed to be used with that much lift, good luck preloading the coils that much, and i dont think your stock control arms and ball joints are meant to handle that much lift. the middle one MAYBE...but i still think it would mess up the shock.

    That's what I was thinking. With it on the bottom notch the ride quality was starting to get rough already, I could only imagine how the ride would be with it maxed out. I'm just weighing my options here, I don't want a spacer lift.

    Another choice you have as a prerunner is a spindle lift.

    The only spindle lifts offered for the 1st gens currently are the ones from SOLO motorsports correct? For the price, I can't justify spending that much on just spindles seeing that my truck won't be used in a manner to require such BEEF

    :notsure: I only know that prerunners have that option. No details about what is available.

    Try Downsouth Motorsports or Wheelers Offroad. Toytec has been out of stock forever, but I ordered my Eibach's from Wheelers, my 5100's from Downsouth and my ToyTec rear AAL from Toytec.

    Plus, Downsouth has free shipping, I believe
