    When you lowered did you loosen the carrier bearing and then retighten? I know this is recommended, but don't remember the geometry well enough to known if this would push it forward.

    Beautiful, love the color combo!
    May I ask if the tires are staggered? Now I’m really not trying to start anything but *I* would go up a size. (Looks like someone hit something with the left front) Sorry…

    Hi, yes the tires are staggered, 235 fronts and 245 rears. Prior to the Belltech shocks, it was super bouncy and bottomed out on a pothole.

    I recently just C Notched it. I have the DJM 4 inch lowering kit in the rear, paired with bilstein shocks. I also had to remove the middle spring in the right side, not a good idea at all but it works for now. The front I now have the SOS Performance 1.5 lowering kit for XRunner (2 inch for the base) and bilstein shocks, which gives a 2.5 ish drop for the front. Later on I will be getting the DJM lowering control arms. I also am running the X brace from Xrunner and rear sway bar along with the transmission braces

    What size blocks you have in the rear? Your taco looks super sick! Here is mine, First Gen 5 speed EC. I believe I’ve got 2inch in the rear and am going to switch out for 3inch here soon. Originally went with 4inch but ended up binding on the center yolk. Not a pretty sound. Almost 300k on my clock! She was a work horse for many many years, once I got it into my hands it was time for some reconstruction!

    My minitruck is lowered in the rear with 4 inch blocks. The back is supposed to be lowered 4 inches, but I think it may be a little lower than that.
