Is there anyway I can get an extra inch low on the front and rear to make it a 4/5? Hopefully without a C-notch… I know it’s not much but I think getting rid of that extra inch gap would make my truck look a bit more cleaner. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

    I guess I should’ve looked around more before posting on the 1st gen thread… but I have an 03 tacoma with the 3/4 DJM kit installed. Is there anyway I can get an extra inch low on the front and rear to make it a 4/5? Hopefully without a C-notch… I know it’s not much but I think getting rid of that extra inch gap would make my truck look a bit more cleaner. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

    No worries!

    Not that we don't allow 5-lugs in here, just that seems to be the place to go for certain things. The only problem with those forums is they aren't 1st gen specific, so depending on what your needs are, here's still a good place to ask, too.

    There's also a performance and tuning section, but again, not generation specific, but there's still a lot of crossover.

    Just ask a mod to move it to a more helpful forum, or feel free to leave it here..

    Nah, leave it. It's fine. You still might get some good advice here. Like I said, those other forums aren't generation specific. It's not illegal to cross-post.

    @celarioboyy I might suggest that if you post in the other forums, just link to this one, or edit this one to link to one of your other threads.

    That way you can hopefully keep most of the responses in a single thread.

    Looks nice now.

    Proceed with caution going lower. It would be easy to get travel reduced so much that the ride is miserable. Not saying it can't be done. Just that it needs to be done right.

    Assuming you drive it more than just Sonic cruise nights.

    Moved and merged threads. Don't blame OP for any duplicate posts up to now -- it's my fault not his :)

    And also if you go too low, you end up not being able to fit A/C components under the hood; A/C is one of those things I cannot live without in a vehicle!
