    OP, have you tried talking to your dealership? Wonder if the issue is common and wonder if they may have a simple fix. Worth a shot before you spend any money

    A few things
    For 5" I would think you would need a custom spring under swap in the rear. As for the front I wouldn't know where to start.

    Aren't you supposed to scream "rollover rollover rollover" and then secure the gunner?

    That aside, my vertically challenged self already has issues jumping in and out when I'm sore.. I imagine with a lift that I will be greatly missing that handle.

    I actually jumped in my 01, then ran over to the 17, back and forth back and forth. 17 is weird getting into and I'm not tall at all. It feels awkward like a stranger hug- you don't know where to put your hands.

    This message was night dropped.

    Nah, I see what it is it the die hard Tacoma fans that don't want to admit that the 2013,2014,2015, are just a better all around build the only thing I like about my Tacoma is the heated mirrors other then that . The door shape is strange I hear pebbles bouncing off my bed on the highway never heard it in my 13 plain and simple this truck bombed out !

    i posted some time ago about bringing my 16 down 1 in the front and 2 in the back. im 6ft2 no prob with the headroom, just at the point that i have to stop,think,get in. nerf bars help but also get in the way-make sense? nerfs on for door protection. i also have 20s on my truck and looking for a mild stance-not full out. i hope you decide to bringit down to your needs. yes,too low wont help at all,but i get where you re going.

    Is your Truck a 2 wheel drive or a 4X4?

    I was asking the OP. I think it would be easier to lower a 2 wheel drive then a 4X4.
