    Just purchased a stock, 1 owner 1996 2wd 5 lug Tacoma. Runs and drives like a Champ!
    I'm wanting to put a 3" lift / level kit on it but not sure if there is one available for these 1st gen toys. All I'm finding are 6 lug options. Needing your guys advise/direction.

    Thank you

    4 run, 2 don't
    Keep the truck as a daily and buy a 6 lug to mess with

    All kinds 3 inch body lift/2 1/2 suspension lift. 31/11 1/2/15 tires All work done by myself for years. The only work performed by mechanic was fuel pumps. I also have a 90 Mustang 350 hp and I can never understand how come my Tacoma gets more respect Just got a 99 Jeep TJ that I rebuilt, and painted in the garage
    I think its a problem...As I remember you have to do a ton of work
