    I have a 2012 taco base model 2 wheel drive (5 lug wheels). I recently purchased a supreme suspension's 3" lift kit including front strut spacers, differential drop kit, IFS sway bar drop bracket, rear lift blocks and U-bolts. After purchasing this kit I found out the kit is only for 6 lug wheels. can I make this kit work on my taco or did I just waist my money?

    Did some diggin' around and found out that the Supreme lift kit is only compatible for 6-lug Tacomas so they will not fit. 5 Lugs have a completely different suspension set up than the 6-lugs. I would recommend looking into the ReadyLift or Fat Bob's Garage lift kit for 5-lugs. Those are the two main lift kits that will fit 5-lugs.

    To answer your question, anything is possible if you have a lot of money. However, this lift is just not going to work on your Tacoma. Return it and find something for 5-lugs (the ones I listed above)

    Good luck!

    Short answer no, it will not, just the rear will work the front is a different story
