    I've installed a 2" drop front spindles and 2" drop rear blocks. It still sits a little high for my liking. How can I drop it more without going hydraulics?

    Im looking to drop maybe one more inch. 3 inches total.

    Thanks.

    I did a belltech 2/3" drop on my yota. If you play with the torsion bars in the front you can get almost another 2" in the front. For the rear you can get 4" drop blocks from DJM suspension. Another option is to get new rear leafs. That will lower the back some too, or take out the middle leaf.... but that may lower it more than you want.

    Phatmitzu, just put the front up on jack stands, go under the truck & their should be 2 bolts under the tranny x -member, all u need is a size 22mm socket and 1/2" wrenchet, spray some wd-40 before loosening dem counter clockwise.. the more u loosen dem the lower it will go.. dude 3" will still look high, might as well slamm it to da max..
