So far here all i have seen are SAS and coil spacers lifts i have yet to find a 1st gen pre runner? or maybe i havent looked enough well i thought i would share my plans with you guys for what im going to do to my dakota startin january when i get a new daily.
So currently the truck has 2 in spacers up front and add a leave in the back on 29" dakota definity m/ts
Future plans are gonna be
3" extended boxed and gusseted lower control arms
3" extended tubed upper arms
cut out the coil bucket and plate the frame to make room for
2.5 8" coilovers
new swing steering set up
and 33" all terrains unknown what kind yet
thats it for the front

and the rear
we will convert to spring over axle
cut knotches in the bed for 2.5 12" bypass shocks mounted to a custom fabbed bed caged
and pulling the bedsides since we cant find any fiberglass

anyways have at it for the input watch for pics cause we should start on the control arms sometime this month

 

I like where this is going! I actually considered making longer control arms for my 4wd, but i talked myself out of it because longer cv shafts would cost as much as a junkyard solid axle and I would still need a heavier duty front diff for 35"+ tires.

Any plans on how much suspension travel you are trying to get out of it?

Somebody makes fiberglass prerunner front fenders for these trucks that i've always wanted to see on a truck set up to be a pre runner. Will you be getting a set of them?

As for the rear, will you be keeping the rear tires where they are at or extending the axle to put the tires in line with the front?

I can't wait to see this thing start to come together!
If I buy you a bicycle as your new daily driver will you have it done by christmas?

 

Sounds like a plan. Now get started and post up plenty of pictures.

 

We plan on about 13-14" of travel bumped and strapped but we'll see the numbers when all is said and done I know glassworks makes front fenders but I can't find Bedsides anywhere as for the rear for right now it'll stay but I'm probably gonna swap the rear to a bronco rear end after most everything else is done. And Yeah if you buy me a bike I'll get started next week haha

 

Cool project!!! Maybe I can incorporate some of these ideas in my storm chaser project........Hmmmmmmm........
