I have that exact setup and i can say it's the only option out there for our 2wd trucks unless you go custom.

Just get a set of off-set rims...that's my only crucial advice ;)

3inch fabtech with glassworks fiberglass fenders and bedsides might be cool.

another thing to consider when you say prerunner Is I have 2inch daystar coil spacers and rear add a leafs. the 2 inch daystar spacers give 3 inches of lift and the add a leaves level it out. it works well for me riding along powerline and gas line trails and for mudding. but when you say prerunner if you plan on jumping your truck it wouldn't be good as I only have like 1inch of downward travel from the upper control arms. so its good for looks and moderate off roading.

just something to think about.

chaximus- 31.12.50 mtr 3 inch fabtech 2inch aim shakles 3 inch body lift. he didn't want to do any trimming.

mine. 31-12.50 procomp x-terrains 2inch coilspacers(get 3inches of lift) rough country add a leaves. 1.5inches. and some trimming.

dweishar- is the only one I know of with fenders he has 3 inch fabtech. glasswork fenders and 33-12.50 bfg mt. you could probably get 35's under there with fenders and a 3 inch body lift.

It's funny but I've always felt that these trucks are more prerunner than 4x4. Mainly because there's really not much in the way of good lifts out there for it except maybe Fabtech or Rancho. Ranco is for the 4x4's and Fabtech is prerunner so it works for these trucks. If you have a 2wd than I would go with Fabtech for the suspension. Coil spacers are fine but like conig said, not a lot in the way of travel. Greg

Wouldn't want any other!
