Body lifts and lifting blocks are for show trucks or like what someone else mentioned pavement pounders. If your thinking about getting 2inch blocks for the rear you should consider ditching the blocks and going with 2-3 inch lift shackles.

 

The shocks that came with 6" Fabtech lift. I'm gonna be upgrading them soon but for now they're fine. My truck is tight but it takes offroading quite well. It's not a prerunner but it has good parts and it has the fenders and stance for a lifted 4wd.

I've worked on a LOT of the biggest baddest prerunner's and trophy trucks around. The real ones ain't no joke!!! But to be real you're gonna be HEAVY!!

 

I would NOT do spacers if you plan on doin any real kind of offroading!! That is a negative ghost rider!

 

Ok i keep hearing mixed things about spacers, some people offroad with them just fine others dont wanna try. So can people who have them share there experiences with me. Ive had them on my Polaris rzr and ive jumped, rock crawled and taken sand whoops at over 40mph and theyve done just fine.

 

Bump anyone?

 

I love the idea of the prerunner front bumper

 

im running 2'' blocks in the rear an my truck is defientally not a pavement pounder but i wouldnt go any bigger than 2 if u do your asking for trouble

 

I've got a 3in body and it handels fine off raod and my truck defenatly isn't a show truck

 

I ran spacers on my rhino but broke one off on a jump at Dumont and it took out my plastics and bent a couple things...not to mention i rolled it. Cause you can do almost the same thing with the right offset wheel and won't have to worry.

Like i said...i'm coming at you from the idea you might do some hard riding. We go out and see how fast we can take the whoops w/o spillin a drink My buddies got an F150 that can take whoops at 120mph and you can hardly tell And he builds offroad trucks and buggies and says HELL NO!! But each person has their own preference.

You can give it a shot...it'll give you the look for sure.

 

Yes, few guys on the forum flipped the rear shackle for a drop and stuff 35s.. gave them Paladin lean as they call it from where they are from. You can google how to do it.

Yes, I HAVE taken it offroad, and nothing has happened. I'd done some rockcrawling and fast driving and sliding around, so they have definitely taken stress and abuse. About the only thing I haven't done with the spacers on is catch air.. but don't want to do that anymore lol.

Ask Mike on the forum, he's been running the same spacer I am for over year now and he offroads damn near every day and tows and is a nut! Nothing has broke. You can also talk to Blackbeast FX4, he ran spacers on his old Screw and has jumped his truck with them on and nothing happened.

And doing all these mods arn't really going to make it more capable offroad than stock.. wider stance will handle a little better going fast like I like. Prerunner bumper will give a little clearance upfront rather than destroying your valance like I did or bending the tow hook, HA. Bigger tires, give more clearance under your difs which a suspension lift won't.
