    The area I live in is all about who has the biggest lift. Everybody around here has 6 inch block lifts with 3 inch body lifts running 37 inch military tires or 40 inch mud grapplers. I can honesty say I think my truck is one of the few around here that's lifted without blocks! Then again I do still have spacers up front... :rolleyes:

    After high miles and many heavy loads mine was very sacked out. Park next to a new stocker and see how much lower your sitting.

    Yep. I went wheeling with some people not too long ago. I noticed my friend's truck with a 3" lift and 33" tires was slightly taller than my truck. I have a 4" lift up front and a 5" lift out back with 31" tires. His truck seemed a bit taller than mine. Once I go with bigger tires I might be taller than him.

    the Prerunner has the TRD suspension as far as how high it sits dont know if it has good shocks tho, the idea of the prerunner is to have 4x4 clearance without having 4x4 if that makes any since.

    2 1/2 inch blocks in front add a leaf spring to the rear rides a little stiffer but look great costs about 225 bucks plus it needs to be realligned

    Yeah, I know. As far as I can tell from looking at specs and browsing models at the lot, the SR5 4x4, TRD 4x4s and Prerunners all sit at the same height more or less. I was not trying to say the Prerunner is different in height.
