    I've searched a lot of different websites and can't seem to find a lowering kit for the rear of a 2012 tacoma trd sport. I want to level the truck by lowering the rear a couple inches or so but can't seem to find any info on it. I know there's info out there for the 5 lugs but I can't find anything on the 4x4s. I checked djm and didn't see anything for a 12. Any ideas/help is appreciated. Thanks

    A longer shackle would lower it.

    That being said, it's sacrilegious to lower a 4x4.

    Wouldn't that put more space between the frame and springs making the truck ride higher instead of lower? And lol I'd agree if I was gonna be off roading at all but I wont be, just need 4x4 for the winter.

    No, the shackles are inverted on our trucks. It would lower it.
