I am going to order a lowering kit for my daily driver (96 tacoma) and I wanted to know if anybody has done one of these.
Also, if anyone would be willing to help me with this...you could be rewarded :lol: ...but anyway I wanted to find out before I ordered.

The kit will require a ball joint relocator, upper control arms and rear blocks. and new shocks on all four corners.
Let me know.
Oh yeah I do have use of a garage for this install.

Thanks,
Phil

Shoot man, you don't have to pay anyone. Just let people know when you are planning on doing the work and I"m sure you can get some help fo free. I'll be glad to stop by if I have some free time when you guys are working.

I wasn't thinkin' like $500 dollars or anything, maybe just a tank of gas or something just to be nice for the help.

sorry, i was kidding about the ball joint relocator. Never heard of one. Guess it wasnt that funny. Anywho, call Autozone. They have a tool lending program where you put down a deposit and can borrow their tools

ball joint relocator sounds like some kind of bracketry. If you are buying a kit, I would assume its part of the package. If not:

I may be able to help out a little bit. I used to have a Ford Ranger with a DJM 3"/4" on it. It had I-beams up front and a flip kit in the rear so I've dealt a little with lowered trucks. Just lemme know when you're planning on installing the stuff.

Later,
Roach
