Yeah this is the only place in the US that I know of, http://www.sdori.com/ and Frank only makes them for 1st and 2nd gen trucks and 4runners. Actually it's 3rd gen trucks too, Tacos are considered 4th gen right?

They space the lower control arm down farther and allow the torsion bars adjustment to be softed up, giving a softer ride and more flex while at the same time giving lift too. The best of all worlds. So they work great for trucks with torsion bars, but Tacos don't have t-bars. That's not to say something similar couldn't be designed to work on a Taco.
