Poll: Leveling kit on a PreRunner?

Discussion in 'Suspension' started by nchiker1, Jun 23, 2020.

Should you install a leveling kit on a PreRunner?

  1. Heck yeah! It would look sweet, and there are other advantages too.

  2. No dude... She's not a 4x4. Let her be who she is, which is still a pretty sweet truck.

    Had a friend suggest to me that I put a leveling kit on. No doubt it would look sweet!

    But with my baby being a 2WD, I think I'd have this nagging feeling that I'm a phony. What do you guys think, does a leveling kit belong on a PreRunner?

    Secondary question, are there any advantages to putting one on a 2WD truck other than aesthetics?

    Yes and I would level your truck. But you might research a complete suspension change. Really depends on what your plans are to do with your truck.

    It will be on the road 95% of the time. During hunting season I’ll take it down some heavily pitted dirt roads, but no more than a quarter mile. I’ll probably leave the suspension alone.
