For a high budget pre-runner conversion, check out some of the desert race truck places, for example: http://www.chaosfab.com/

For a lower budget conversion, try some ball joint spacers up front, maybe an add-a-leaf and/or longer spring shackles or spring over conversion on the rear end and maybe a modest body lift if needed to clear whatever tires you want to run. A limited slip or locker in the rear axle would help as well.


the 2wd doesnt have ball joint spacers, you have to use lift spindles or controll arms and crank the torsion bars. i reccomend larger torsion bars also. look over at downey off road.com , they seem to be the cheapest place to get prerunner parts for the 2wd yotas. i have a 94 2wd with fabtech lift spindles (discontinued) and downey upper a arms in the front and a rear spring over axel swap with 31x10.50's

if i had to do it over i would have rather done a solid axel swap but its comming after my 84 is done. id also not use the crappy spindles , the steering knuckle is notorious for breaking grade 10 bolts right off on a regular basis, real nice on a trail.... if you want to lift a 2wd do a 3 inch body lift and the downey kit with their rear lift leaf springs and then a detroit trutrac you will haved a decent lil' off road truck with plenty of drivability, only drawback is the price you pay for that you could sell your truck and buy a 4x4...
