    Ok cool thank you I'll have a look at your set up. But 6" is a but much for me, not trying to go that hig . Maybe in the future when I get a 4x4 to take full advantage of it.

    Remember the advantage with a prerunner is you can put a 6 inch lift on it you can't put a 6 inch lift on a 4x4 unless you do a BDS lift

    I hear ya. I was very apprehensive about going 4" at first. But it's really not a lot.

    Screenshot_20190723-174528.jpg For example rough country makes a 4 and 6 inch bracket lift it's a full kit comes with shocks and everything you need perfect for Mall crawlers and it's under a thousand bucks

    I wouldn't recommend it but if you're never going to take your taco off roading and you're just going to park it at the mall it's probably a perfect kit

    @knightofzero - don't do that ^

    There's no reason to on a PreRunner since it doesn't have a differential that needs dropping "drop bracket lift" - you have to cut the frame with those. Totally not practical for a PreRunner

    Theyre great if you want to stay at stock height and tow/haul regularly. If you want to lift the truck out back, bags just get in the way. Best to get leaf packs to provide lift and extra support for loads imo.

    My main reason i recommend against them is due to ride quality. I have king 2.5s with resis and clickers out back and if i hit a certain kind of dip or bump in the road, the back end starts bouncing up and down. It was worse with heavier loads. I took a bunch of crap out of/off the truck and now it rides a little better with the same air pressure as before i did that
