    You were trying to sell your truck previously I think? You can use that money+trade in value on a 4x4 if you still wanted one.

    Nothing to do with your PreRunner. 6" lifts aren't exactly loved in here by the majority. The vast majority.

    PreRunner lifts over 3" should be spindles IMO.

    I would go that route. If not, BDS gets the least amount of hate.

    I love how everyone in this forum thinks it's great to lift a 2wd but if you lift a 4wd with a drop bracket you get hated on. No travel,no clearance blah blah. So it's great to have clearance when you only have 1 wheel spinning. It's just a bandwagon thing around here.

    Sorry for the rant but I'm sick of it. After a few years of reading the hate on here kind of had me scared,but I still wanted it. So on my new truck I went drop bracket and love it! I know,cool story bro. I just hate that people always try to discourage others when they may not even have first hand experience. And yes 2wd= lower and 4wd= lift. lol

    Ok peewee. What is the truth you speak of? Getting harassed by a bunch of "experienced" people for wanting to do something to your own vehicle? Yeah I found that out the hard way.
