    here is my 02 tacoma, absolutely fell in love with this truck from the day i bought it, but thinking about doing a little changes. I have thought about lowering a few inches and downsizing to 33s with a different wheel, any thoughts? suggestions? [​IMG]thanks.

    im not 100% sure on the BL but i believe i have a 3in suspension as well as a 3in body. You can see right through it when youre level with it in the rear end. And with it bein an auto instead of 5spd, and 4cyl pulling those 35s are hard on it and im rockin about 12mpg haha

    Ouch, definitely recommend removing the body lift and running 33's. I got about 16-17 in the summer on my old 2.7 with 33's.
