How To Drop It
Well I Got A 1986 Toyota Pickup And I Was Looking Foward To Buying Some Shocks To Give It Beter Handling Cause It Drifts To Much And Get It Lower But I Dont Want For It To Look Ugly Eithe So How Should I Drop It
If you buy new shocks/struts and make sure the rest of your suspension is okay you'll be fine. There is no need to drop an 86 Toyota pickup if all you want to do is improve the handling. Now if you want to blast some Reggaton, get a candy apple paintjob, and get big dawg rims thats a different story - but I can assure you that if you replace any defective suspension parts the truck will handle fine while being driven the way is was manufactured to be driven.

Doubt they make a performance suspension system for that truck. If better handling is what you're going for, I'd get some good shocks, good tires, and an alignment...probably the best you'll do. If looks is what you're going for, drop it...but your handling will probably only be negatively affected.

HI,
I think about one of the few lowering kits available for your truck will be the 2" front and 3" rear drop kit from Bell Tech, they also offer the shocks as well, KYB also offer the GR-2 shocks which are a good replacement shock but stiffer than factory,
:: Belltechsporttrucks :: Shock Absorbers :: Coilovers :: Springs :: Lowering and Lifting Shocks :: Coils :: Spindles :: Flip Kits ::
DJM Suspension also offer a kit, but for the 1988 up Tacoma,
DJM Suspension - Products - Toyota Pickups
I have an 06 F-150 with an Eibach 2" front and rear drop, the truck handles like a car and I love it,
I have only replaced the springs so far, I will be replacing the shocks and sway bars as well,
your truck is 20 years olds, just like my Corolla AE86,
I would replace all suspension bushings, any bad suspension parts ( ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, etc.. ),
then I would get the lowering kit, shocks and a good alignment,
also, the most important piece of any suspension set up, tires,
make sure you have a good set of tires,
let me know if you need a price quote for any of these parts,
I hope this help,
