    Hey guys! New here and will be picking up my 2015 MGM Tacoma TRD Sport Doublecab.

    This will be my first truck ever. Always drove a car..mostly VWs. But main question has anyone lowered there truck? I just need a mild drop for an easy entry and exit. I know it's a truck but not dropping it to the ground. Thanks

    Hoping you're dropping a 2wd not a 4x4... I haven't seen one most people left prerunners over dropping them... I'm pretty sure you could use the spindle kits the 2wd double cabs use or xrunners...

    A 2wd. The truck will most likely not be use for off-roading.

    Thanks bro! Ride looks really nice! Though I don't think I would go the low..maybe like the xrunner height if possible or a lil bit higher. Is he on island?

    I don't know him personally but he lives in Hawaii Kai side. Send him a DM via IG, JKRAZY_TG. I'm pretty sure he can help you out.

    Any reason why you just didn't buy an x-runner? Had one in the showroom today at Servco.

    Not going to be too low..just a mild drop. I even spent extra to get the tube steps but damn I'm still short. I feel like climbing a mountain trying to get on the truck. Lmao.
