    Working in progress.
    What's up fam?

    I'm pretty new here trying to explore things. I have a 1996 Tacoma 3.4 regular cab 5 speed manual transmission (red). I'm currently rebuilding the engine but since I don't really go out on trails to go off road I would like to try to lower my Taco. What's the good performance suspension out there? What would you recommend?

    Hi. I just got my dad's 1996 Tacoma and want to lower. I was wondering if you had done any work yet? If so did you find a kit? I would like to see how it came out and any info that may help me.
