Project showrunner(tips and input welcomed)
Ive decided to build a mild showrunner offroader( showrunner, prerunner look without all the function)
Heres my list
1.N-fab prerunner bumper($300)
2.4 rancho 9000xl adjustable shocks($400)
3.Either remove the rear blocks, or lowerin shackles for the reverse rake look($40)DONEwith AAL and 1 in lift shackle, stock block removed
4.3in body and rebuild stock front suspension or 4in suspension lift.(Around $1000 either way)
5. 4 KC daylighters for the bumper($200ish)
6. Remove the plastic lower valance, sand and paint frame($20)DONE
7. 2inch billet cnc wheel spacers($100) DONE
More input is appreciated my plan is somthing like a cross of these 2 trucks.

Nice man. Might i suggest some fiberglass fenders both front and rear, and some nice wide tires. And i wouldnt lower the rear, you still want hieght, how about buy whats needed for a 4" lift up front, maybe if youre 2wd a 3" level kit. But it would be better with a 4". And if its to tall in front get a little bigger block, that way it looks a little taller.

Thats what im thinking with the 4in suspension lift and get a 2in block in the rear instaed of a 3in, fenders are a little farther down the list. This is more of a looks and mild offroader.

Fenders 1st yes....long arm front for more travel is what gives it the stance. The rear you can just airbag up or whatever you need. That's what mine has. I can lift my rear or lower it almost 4" depending on what i want that day. I've got Deaver springs in the rear and dual fox remote res on the front.
I like the silver truck cause it is full on! But i'm not a fan of removing the bed usage....but that's me. And i've never been a fan of body lifts! I hate showing more frame! I think tucking frame is far more appealing. And suspension is where it's at!! But i go offroad and to the dunes so i like suspension. If you're just going to be a pavement pounder then you just need to worry about form over function.

December 2009 TOTM!
So you want to have the look of a prerunner who can take whoops at like 80mph but not the function?
If you want to pose, toss on front fenders, do 2" wheel spacer up front, do a front bumper and some lights and there you go. You can do a rear bumper too for added look.
And body lift would be hidious especially trying to go prerunner look. It's more about stuffed rear and high front. You can flip rear shackle now, and do 2" wheel spacer up front for the look and stance...
