    Anyone do this at home or should I just take my truck to a shop & do it?


    I'm planning on going lower (yeah I know:brickknock:) and i scrape just ever so slightly on bigger speed bumps where I just started working.

    Thanks for any input.....

    808' I had mine done on my tacoma and it really made a big difference for clearance issues. Just go on streetacos.com and email Brian or you can PM too and ask your question and youll definately get the answer youre looking for on going lower. I plan to do it on my 82 and I know those leaf hangers are way longer than the ones on my Tacoma.:waytogo:

    Get rid of them all together by installing a four link and airbags!

    Only way is to get a measuring tape out and find out if it will work instead of sitting on your a-double-asterix cruising the web.
