    2010 PreRunner 3" lift
    Rancho front lift coilover 2.75" 1.5" toytec rear blocks Rancho rs9000xl rear shocks. PIAA lights Grillcraft grill. Mickey Thompson Classic Lock Black wheels. Toyo open country 265/75-16 tires.
    Well not new, but just finished lifting my 2010 Prerunner and have had some trouble with it, but getting better. Installed Rancho Quick lift front coil overs and it was suppose to level the front, NOT. Raised it almost 1.25" above the back. Well after all day in my garage intalling these I was a little upset. Should of went with toytec or Bilsteens like everyone else on here but the price was right and it came with the shocks and springs assembled and the dampening is adjustable, like a motorbike shock. Then had the front end aligned and the first place couldn't get it right; Les Schwab. Took it to Wheel Works and they nailed it pretty close. Then I ordered 1" blocks for the rear and installed, still to low. Ordered Toytec 1.5" blocks, and got the truck level again. Just a note, Toytec rear blocks are beautifull in craftmanship, alumium blocks machined with pin for the axle. The other blocks I had from 4wheel parts were steel and cheap looking. Well I have done more to my truck before the lift, but minor add ons, piaa lights behind grill, grillcraft, mickey thompson wheels, I will post pics later. Thanks Tacoma World.

    Thanks
    Nice paint for a2008. What do you use on it to keep it up. I just clayed mine a few weeks ago and then used mothers brazillian wax. Made a big differance. I don't do any offroading, but the freeways arounnd here are really hard on paint.

    Later.
