Lowering my '23 Tacoma 2WD

1️⃣ Getting Started...
My Tacoma sits as high as a 4WD. I can run smaller tires & wheels but I'm wondering about spring & shock work. All suggestions appreciated!
 
There have to be custom coil springs available to swap in. Or maybe a strut from a different application. Or maybe custom springs. Same for the rear. Custom lowering springs.
 
So you're saying that this will fit a 2023?! Sounds wonderful. Who is this kit made by? I'll try typing in TR2037 & see if I can find it that way. Thanks so much!!

Seems like SOS Performance is definitely the way to go for lowering.

Also looks like if you pair it with these you can get 3" in the front. Might work. If interested, I would start by getting the SOS then calling these guys and seeing about compatibility.

This one is done pretty well. Has the SOS Kit.

That is great news! The TE2037 lowers 2" in the front, not quite enough for me. This kit is more to my liking. The SOS kit you show here is what I want for the front. If I can get the kit for the back it would be great! The truck pictured sits like I want mine to sit. Thanks very much!!

Just looking at this stuff is making me regret lifting my truck twice now. I should have just stuck to what I knew and lowered the bitch.

I can hardly wait!! this being a new truck, I hope lowering doesn't affect the warranty.

If lowering causes a direct failure and the dealership can prove that, then they can void the warranty coverage on just that specific part of the vehicle.

Lifting can cause driveline vibration and needle bearing failure. So they can prove that vibration correction or premature failure of the needle bearing is not covered.
They may be able to loosely "prove" that even though needle bearings can prematurely fail on stock vehicles.

But if you attempt to install something and short out/fry wiring, they can't void your overall warranty or drivetrain/suspension or anything else.

Look into the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

Magnuson Moss Warranty Act

Many auto-enthusiasts who want to get the best performance from their vehicle are worried that they may cancel their vehicle’s manufacturer’s warranty when they modify their ride. This page is here to help answer your questions on your rights and responsibilities as a consumer.
