    To the best of my knowledge to convert a "five-lug truck" to a "six-lug truck" you will need a six-lug truck frame and full six lug truck suspension, and essentially everything below the body.

    Frankly put your most cost-effective option if you want a six lug truck is to sell your five lug and buy a six lug truck.

    Sorry bud.

    For ideas of what you can do with a five lug look for a member on here in the Florida section who goes by the username of something along lines of 5 lug fury.

    Not w/o a lot of modification.

    Why do you think you need to do this?

    Are you just trying to be able to install OE 6 lug wheels or something?

    Edit: found your post in the 2nd gen forum basically asking the same thing....... and it's for the wheels. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...regular-cab-5-lug-to-6-lug-conversion.703937/

    Make it happen and they'll be the most expensive OE wheels in the country.
