    none except for crappy hub caps and floor mats.
    I've decided to keep my old truck until the wheels fall off. But I've also kind of wanted to give it a more aggressive look. Have any of you put bigger wheels/tires on your stock 2WD tacos?

    Lots of 5 luggers have done this....Not sure if there is a lift that only gives a couple inches or so....Last I checked, seemed you had to get a long travle set up.....

    The first link is for 2005 to 2008.
    Will that really work on a 96 or 98? If so killer find.

    The second one is a nice way to go. but you need something for the rear.

    Going to a 15 rim and bigger tire will also help.

    It is tuff, I looked all over to find a lift for my truck, but in the end they cost a bit much. If you Took the money and sold the truck I could get a high milage 4X4.

    So i am holding off till I can afford a low milage 4X4 or new one.

    what is your Budget?
    if it s low the spacer and blocks might be for you..
