Has my truck been lifted?

Great truck! Looks stock to me

 

Are those 17" wheels from a sport model??

 

Yes, or off a 4th gen 4runner. I actually have 4th gen 4runner and have Sport wheels that are spray painted matte black that I plan to put on the truck.

 

How many miles are on that sweet looking ride?

 

155K

 

Sweet, should last for many more, good luck.

 

Look closer at the 'work trucks' you are comparing to. I bet most are 5 lugs. Totally different suspension than 6 lugs have

 

Thanks! That is the plan. I've got 2 kids driving in the next 3 years, so the plan is let them learn to drive manual on this.

Yes Sir, those work trucks are 5 lugs. I think I got lucky because the seller listed this truck similar to prices of the "work trucks" and I jumped on it. It does have an oil leak I'm trying to figure out (I think it is the Cam seal)

I love having bucket seats.

 

Not lifted.

 

WTF...WHERE IS THE RUUUUUUUUSTTT!

So jealous of southern trucks..

 

not lifted per se BUT the previous owner did replace the stock hitachi black shocks with what appears someone's takeoff bilstein 4600s. Common swap that I actually just did myself. Very common as guys are always swapping out their stock suspension for 5100s or better. It does end up raising the front by 1" (for me anyways) since the regular cab weighs around 3500lbs with a full tank of gas and the springs for the bilstein 4600s are designed for the heavier 4400lb DCSB. 1" is technically a lift but if you have to measure it to see it, does it count? Picture is of reg cab stock struts left, black hitachi shocks (what you're supposed to have) with the spindly weak springs. Right is the 4600s off another members DCSB. The 4600s are a world of difference from the hitachis

edit: looking closer at your pics, it appears that perhaps the coils were not switched out but only the shocks were, in which case it should still be stock height. Either way, start saving up for black friday sales for bilsteins 5100s, 6112s, 5160s, 8112s, or kings/icons lol

 

Also, super jealous of the bucket seats. I have a bench in mine and although I love the nostalgia feeling, I could really do with some buckets

 

Check your air pressure in your tires. If too high you will get the feeling of bouncing over or floating over railroad tracks. Nice looking truck.

 

Correct, but my assumption is that the shocks (and coils) have been swapped. Shocks never provide lift, but coils do.

 

Lets get this all cleared up about those shock absorbers.
THEY ARE THE FACTORY SHOCKS!
The yellow shocks were one of the features of SR5 until something around 2013 or so when they downgraded SR5 to no longer include them.
That truck has chrome rear bumper, chrome grill surround, and painted fender flares and front bumper.
THAT TRUCK IS AN SR5, it left the factory with those shocks on it.

 

looks stock height but with nicer Bilstein shocks thanks stock

 

Like I said, those are factory shocks for that truck.

 

I apologize, Didnt notice its an sr5 as theyre kinda rare for a reg cab. My base reg cab 4wd had these shocks on it when I bought it too but i was told they were replacements and were not the stock shocks.

 

So you think my truck has the SR5 package? My tailgate has been debadged by the previous owner, and the carfax just says Prerunner on it. I do know that my truck does not have Fog lights wiring, but it does have intermittent wipers and cruise control. No power mirrors, windows, or door locks.

 

It certainly is. base models dont have painted flares and front bumper, also has the chrome bumper, not black. Different grille. also bucks seats only came in the sr5's
