The fenders were $500 shipped from glassworks unlimited. They don't fit sierras but they will fit your truck perfectly. Yeah they are track bars in the back from fabtech. Mine was 4wd in this shot but is 2wd now. I didn't engage 4wd here but the fronts are still kicking rocks... I think it's bc I just whipped around the turn and the fronts were still rotating fast.
If you want that brushguard I took it off and it's for sale. The track bars might also be for sale for the right price.

I haven't quite grasped why people think a prerunner is anything with a lift in the front and no lift in the back.

I realize you may understand that, but others don't. Prerunner= **** load of suspension travel.

That's funny must be a difference in culture.

Here they either lift the front, or lower the rear, and they call it "Bull Dawged" which I think is about the dumbest thing ever. There is a newer extended cab Ford Ranger with the back bumper literally like an inch off the ground and the front is lifted at least 4 inches. I can't figure it out. The kid thinks he is super cool though, as he bounces all over and drags the back bumper over everything.

There is a reason why "pre-runner" suspension's cost so much, it is much more then just a lift.

I would love to find some pre-runner style front fenders, skid plates and front bumper, for my pickup. I like to look, don't like the "Cali-lean".

The Ranger I would assume is bagged. Many bagged guys like to have their rear end as low as possible and their front end high enough so they can turn. It looks retarded if you ask me.

As far as the prerunner lifts, yes they are extremely expensive. Heck the cheapest one I know of is CST's long travel 7" kit and last I checked it was ~$3000.

No, he actually appears to have those cheap coil spring spacer things you twist in the coils, and massive lowering blocks and some leafs pulled in the rear. I would have some respect if it were on air.

I really need to start taking pictures of these local trucks. I passed a guy in a late 70's short bed Ram. He has some small 25 inch looking skinny street tires in the front, and what appeared to be some Mickey Thompson Baja 40x18 tires in the rear. All on matching wheels. The truck body itself was in exceptional shape.
