    @Plkyone that is a clean setup. What lip did you mount to your 4runner bumper swap? I'm waiting to finish my QA1 swap.

    You also can go with the 3 1/2” for a super low look! Since I’m going to go about 1” lower with my truck this works perfect!

    Just picked up a 2001 Tacoma, and looking around at lowering kits from Belltech (443ND) shows they're only compatible with the 6cyl. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Can you use the same kit on the 4cyl?

    OEM shocks for this? Bilstein 4600s?

    Thanks for the help!

    I put them in my '02 Taco 2.4 2wd, and they were horrible. Way too stiff for a 4-cylinder. It rode hard and bounced several times over bumps. A year later I took them out and installed the DJM 3/4 kit, and it's been great. No problems other than occasional mild front tire rubbing.

    I used Monroe Sensa-Trac shocks for three years and just last month (July '20) I put Belltech 8517 shocks on the rear and KYB Mono Max 565030 shocks on the front. The ride is firm but not harsh--just the way I like it.

    Hope this helps.

    Reminds me of my GMC S15 (Chevrolet S10 clone).
    I had coils and spindles up front, leafs and blocks in the rear.
    This was at a time where a lot of people were heating and cutting coils :eek:

    I'm running the factory Tacoma front springs. The DJM lowering kit is designed to use the factory springs so you maintain the factory ride quality.

    Yes, I can recommend the KYB shocks.
