Want to lower my 08 Tacoma

I have a black 08 tacoma with etended cab 4 X 2 with chrome running boards and chrome billet grille and black spoke 17" wheels and black diamond plate low profile toolbox. I would like to lower my truck but cannot afford to spend $800.00 and up. Has anyone used the coil spring clamps that J.C Whitney says will lower the front end up to 3". I have leaf springs on the rear. Any suggestions.

 

I don't have an answer for you but Welcome to TW ! !!!! Someone will have the answer you need soon

 

I wouldnt use coil spring clamps period. Used them on my honda and one of them eventualy broke due to the pressure from the springs. I was driving at that time and it hit the inside part of the fender. The end result was a nice big zit on my front passenger fender.

 

you could get a body shop to cut your springs down a little i did it before on a 00 cavalier...but wouldnt recommend it will cause long term damage to the struts and so on...but if your only keeping it a year or two then rock on its someone elses problem right

 

Don't cut them! It's terrible! If you can resist the urge until you know you can't get lowering springs and leaves.

I say try to find decent lowering springs and leaves for a good price first then you could try and cut them.
