New to the Street truck/Tacoma world (few questions)

Hi i am new to the street truck world. I have always had a lifted truck, and recently bought a 2001 Tacoma 5-speed 2wd as my daily fun truck. Also it great on gas. since i have owned the truck i have purchased wheels and tires (AVID.1 AV-20), led headlights, and tinted the windows. I am looking into lowering it a few inches, whats my best options. Another thing. what are the do or dont's on here. I do not want to start a conflict with other members. What do you think about the truck so far. many more mods to come.

 

Nice, i like any tastefully modded vehicle, wheatger its lifted or lowered. Just needs to be cohesive. I woulda gone with a s10 or blazer personally. I plan to get a 2door blazer for my fun truck

 

I like the rims you picked out! Can't wait to see it dropped...

Looking forward to your future mods to come.

 

Thanks. How low should I go???

 

Drop will look great with the wheels

 

That all depends on you, but minimum 2" I'd say to at least close the wheel gap to an appropriate level. A 3/4" drop should still be very streetable as well.

 

If you are looking for a mild drop, I would do a ball joint flip and remove the middle leaf. that should be about 3/4"

 

Hey, somebody who is in the same place as me, trying to spruce up a new ride! Those rims are nice, and that truck looks like it's in great shape. I'm trying to decide on the best way to lower mine too. I think for starters, I'm going to get a cheap 3" block/u-bolt kit for the rear, just to level it out some until I can get the funds to buy a proper 3/4 kit.

Where did you get those LED headlights, and are they just plug-in swaps?

...And I just noticed how old this thread was. Did you make any progress on it?

 

bj flip and middle leaf removed is the cheapest route. then save up for springs and 2-3" block if you want to go lower.
