Hmmm.... I think you are the first here to ask about lowering the Hilux.

All of us want to raise it higher to reach for the stars!8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

I have no knowledge whatsoever on lowering a vehicle's suspension so I can't help you out.

I'm sure the other guys here will chip in.

using lowering blocks on the rear is esay .The front can be dropped a couple of ways ,adding a spacer to the two bolts under the front hub carrier is possible although the possiblity of bump steer is unknown,the best is to replace the front coil overs with a shorter unit .These can be sourced from a good suspension shop or a race parts supplier for the full ajustable shocks that are avalable.the one draw back is the guard clearance when running 18 " rims .what i want is someone who has an independant rear end conversion?:roll:

Well, that's the first picture I've seen here of our Hilux being lowered!

Different strokes for different folks!
