Just Got My Dream Truck!!

Whats Up Fellas? I Just Took Delivery Of My Very Own 08 "taco" Pre-runner 2x4. Its Black Sand Pearl With The Sport Package. Im Looking To Put A Lift, And Light Kit On It, But Im A Motorcycle Tech And Know Very Little About These Sorts Of Things. Ive Been Reading Other Threads And There Are Lots Of Terms That Are Forgine To Me. Im Looking To Haul My Motocross Bikes So I Dont Want A Lift Over Three Inches. Im Looking To Do Some Off Road Cruising In It, Nothing To Crazy, But Id Still Like It To Ride Nicely Around Town. Well Here Comes The Part Where I Need All Your Expert Advice... Tell Me "taco" Brothers What Do I Need?

 

Whats up man! Congrats on the new ride, its exactly like mine!

 

Welcome and congrats, being a cycle tech you're pretty handy with tools, so not over simplify things but... do what you think makes your truck stand out. Check out our gallery and look around, there are a lot of nice rides in there.

 

Yeah Im Looking To Make It Clean And Functional. Anyone Who Works In My Line Of Work Knows We Dont Make Much But I Love This Truck And Really Want To Do The Few Things That Will Make It Stand Out. Im Stoked To See How Many Heads Itll Turn When Its Finished.

 

Im Bumping This Up Hoping For Some More Input

 

What kind of budget do you have for suspension components?

 

On The Low End Id Say, Like I Said Befor I Still Need The Bed Functional, So The Lift Is More For Looks Then Any Thing. Maybe Around $2500

 

For $2500 you will have a VERY nice set up.

I'd get a set of Icon Coilovers and a Darkar Leaf pack. That would run you right around $2500. Thats the set up I dream of..

 

Well If I Can Go Cheaper Then I Would Like To Cause Id Like To Get Wheels And Tires Around The Same Time So The Truck Doesnt Look Funny With A Lift And Small Tires

 

For a cheaper lift, you can't go wrong with . I would buy the 3" kit with OME Coils (the second one down). It is $299. Toytec is by far the most popular kit for our trucks.
