    Hey everyone, I'm newbie and I just bought a 91 toyota pickup reg. cab. This is my first truck and I want to hook it up. I would like to know the best way to lower my truck and still have a smooth ride. Also, I was told 17's would be my best bet after I lowered and that it would not rub. Is this true????

    Welcome to TM!

    My truck has a 2/3 drop and I'm running stock tires with no issues. The best (but not cheapest) way to lower these trucks while maintaining the ride is drop spindles up front and drop leafs in back with a good set of shocks.

    Thanks for the info, I will search for the spindles and leaf springs.

    No problem. One place you might try is stylintrucks.com, thats where I bought my Belltech drop spindles and Toxic drop shocks. And they're comparable to just about anywhere.
