    SoCal has a lot of shops that can do that work, it's pretty basic as far as install goes (the install instructions are on that link, just scroll down).

    That said, they have a lot of dealers in SoCal.

    Here's the list.

    i hear ya...i'm so used to my 2nd gen tacoma walking up is piece of cake with two ramps, for 4 years, never had a mis-hap on the loading part.

    now, 3rd gen caught me by surprise, and i had to give more gas to walk it up...i've already loaded a few times already, just wish i could see if there is an option...

    Axle wrap. It'll cause your pinon to tilt way up when you drop the clutch. Need bars or a multi link control arm setup

    If you end up getting it done, post here.

    We can use more lowered trucks.

    That's the cheapest option. :D

    I wouldn't consider a suspension mod to be done for convenience, as it's kind of short sighted. Depending on how much you invest it's either a performance mod or an aesthetic one.. personally I find the proportions of a 2016/2017 to be excellent for lowering, but again.. this is an offroad oriented forum even though 90% don't fit that bill and just pretend to.
