    Hey their taco family looking to slam The front of my truck or lower. But I was wondering how else can I lower it besides putting a djm upper control arms. I was wondering if maybe the older year taco lowering springs or coilovers would fit my truck. I have a 2005 Toyota Tacoma regular cab. So if any of you know how to get a 5/6 inch in the front. let me know if anyone has any info. I will be putting 5inch block for the rear so I kinda want to level it out. Thanks taco family.

    Sorry... nothing from the older gen tacos really fit (suspension wise). To get a 5/6 drop, your going to need to cut the rear (c notch it) for the axle to clear. As for the front, you can either djm it with spacers, go ghetto and chop your springs with spacers, or bag it.

    You can also do the 12 performance coilover... but imo... too pricey for such a minimal drop.
