Lowering kits for 1st gen?

Hey everyone, i have a 95 taco and i see a lot of lifts but i want to lower mine a few inches and having a hard time finding a kit or procedures for the mod. anyone done it before and can give some insight? thanks!

 

A lowering kit? Omg... are the 80s coming back around??? lol

 

remove a leaf spring in the rear maybe haha

no but here’s one option I found

different strokes for different folks haha

 

Also another option is belltech, saw they had some just look up “Belltech lowering kit” and your make and year

 

sweeet, thanks man i appreciate that. ive looked on youtube nd guys usually fab up the front suspension. just tryna find the easiest option

 

Yeah I mean you could always cut your front springs... not very safe but unless you drive really fast shouldn’t be an issue

 

yea, never liked the idea of cutting the springs. i even tried finding some coilovers but not much luck, just gonna have to do some more digging

 

Lowering?...

 

I have a 2004 Prerunner and am trying to lower the truck (short wife) and I only use it on the road. I cannot find a lowering kit that does not use lowering blocks since the Diff is UNDER the springs lowering blocks only raise it. Looking for ideas HELP!!!!

 

lowering a prerunner is going to be fairly difficult. Is your truck stock height currently? These trucks are pretty short stock

 

Nerf bars or sliders would give people a step up into the cab. I'd be more inclined to do that than alter the ride height.

 

Thanks for the feed back. i am already starting to work on the nerf bar steps but would still like to lower the truck. looks like no one makes a lowering kit for the Toyota Tacomas'. looking at the diff area I am not totally sure if it is possible to lower it without causing other issues. So I may have to, like you said-- forget it.

 

No don't do that, don't forget it! Maybe you could swap axle housings with a 5 lug and put 6 lug axles in it? Are Prerunners 5 lug or 6?

 

pre runners are 6 lugs

 

Not for the 6 lugs, no.

If you have a 2wd pre-runner and it's too high, sell it and get a 5 lug.

Or get a step stool, lol.

FWIW, my wife is 5'1" and can get in my lifted 4x4 with minimal effort.

 

hit up SDyota on IG or fb. he can get you what you need for any budget.
and check our the street trucks section, plenty of information there.
