Just be carfull, I dont think Rancho make a Shocky to fit the Prado's front.
(You cant run them upside down )so you need to adapt them. You have to fit a tube thro the top eye with side washers tacked on either side of the rubber bush. If you look at the ariginals? youll see what i meam.

Speak to supralux, and also chamberlains... I think craig at http://www.genie4x4.com sells adapters for the shocks.

Steve aka supralux should be able to source everything you need. I have pricing for my prado somewhere from Craig at genie4x4, drop me a PM if you want it.

Was looking at going for a 4" lift, 2" is easy just springs and shocks, 4" needs a bit more.
