So I think I'm going to take the Yota in a completely different direction and drop it. Just not sure if I want to do a static drop or if I want to bite the bullet and wait to do air ride.

I've been looking at this kit: https://sosperformance.com/products/tr2037-2-front-35-rear-lowering-kit-fits-2016-tacoma and considering running it until the truck is fully paid off just to see how well I like the look and feel. I'd like to also upgrade from my stock 17s to 20s and go wide body.

I think you should do it. You’d be one of the only people to drop a 3rd gen that isn’t heavily built by a fab shop.

That's a big part of why I want to do it. I was going to lift it but then realized it would look like almost 80% of every other Tacoma in my area (WA State) and while I enjoy hiking and camping, it's not my life and I don't have the ability to go every weekend or even every few months. So rather than buying another set of tires to replace ones that are just a few months old, going to wear these down and just pick up the kit and wait until I'm close to needing to replace tires and drop, go bigger wheel/tire at once.

Flares will come at a later time, but I'm thinking 3" unless Rocket Bunny comes out with something that will work.

If you have a 4wd truck, is their kit compatible with 4wd?

From what I've been reading, it is but I'll verify before purchasing. With such a small drop, I don't see it doing any harm at the moment but if I want to go much lower, I'll have to notch the frame and probably lose my front diff.
