1996 T4R Limited -- Just Picked It Up!!

Just 3" suspension. Give or take a little is fine. This truck will only get about 2-3k miles a year put on it. Hunting trips and pulling a pontoon during the summers. And some weekend driving here and there. I really just want it to look good and still be functional. And house 285 tires under it. I'm even cool with 265 really. Just want the stance improved. Very little off reading will happen in this vehicle. I have ATVs for that. Call it a mall queen like the OP said in the lift thread.

I would recommend the tundra bilstein 5100 shocks all around, 890 ome coils in back. Toytec/eibach coils in the front. that will give you 3 inches of lift, look good, and function fantasticallly.
 
Thanks man, kind of what I wanted to hear. Plus I can piece it together as I can afford it (or come across a deal by chance). Still need the diff drop I assume. And pan?
 
Maintenance first. Then wax and detail with a complete interior cleaning to have a nice starting point. Add some small 3/4" wheel spacers and maybe paint the wheels graphite gray for an updated look (looks great on white), 265/75R16 tires (maybe Dueler ATs or BFG ATs), plasti-dip those gold emblems. Then change at least the shocks if not new coils & shocks all-around. Drive it and enjoy it.
 
I'd get the diff drop, and a pan bar... not the bracket.

Roger that fightman. I've read your whole build thread and that's what I want to model mine after actually. Great job man. Thanks!!



Paddel, plan on doing all of the maintenance first. Which is a big reason I won't have much funding left for serious mods. Plus I just read the strawberry milk shake thread and that's got me all worried haha.
