    Yes 6 lug prerunner.
    if you do purchase the coilovers, get the higher PPi. The shocks can only compensate so much for ride comfort. Machining will also need to be done so the coilovers can fit. Fortunately it was already done when I bought mines from another member here. Either way ride will be a little stiff/bumpy because these trucks aren’t made to be low. But I’ve felt worst rides than what I’m riding on.

    Is this set up more comfortable than the tundra racing lower kit?

    From what I hear, I believe the TR front kit will Feel closer to stock ride. @hemitruk knows since he has the TR kit with some wonderful swaybars. For me, I feel more vibebrations with my current setup.

    With that said... The TR kit is not comfortable compared to stock. It’s more sporty but if you hit a pothole you know it. Curious if the set you have is better than stock? Not sure what the pre runner has but the sport has blistein shocks stock.

    Just don't go as high as 750ppi springs. You'll feel every grain of sand.

    I feel the 675ppi would be best, but that would be a custom rate. 650 would be the next best compromise.

    750 is my track set. I mean DD set. :anonymous:

    I went from TR to non TR with a lower ride height.

    www.definedengineering.com has components for a spring under kit. As one option.

    The rear on mine is OEM shackles, Calvert Racing weld on axle perches, and QA1 shocks for the XR. On XR leaf springs.

    Front is a set of Lite Racing UCA's, strut tower adapters, Ohlins coilovers, and PAC Racing springs.

    Also took an inch out of the steering knuckles, at the top.

    I wanted to do coilovers but the roads in Hawaii sucks . Plus the dollars lol. I went with a taller and little wider 285 -50-20s to kind of fill out the wheelwells. Which of coarse raised truck a little .
