    welcome to no mans land. there is hardly any support for our 5 lugs. djm makes a drop using their upper and lower control arms (3") you can buy qa1 coilovers, but you have to get a top mount fabricated. no such thing as lowering springs for it anymore (eibach stopped production). rear is blocks or custom coilovers or bags. you can use 4x4 leaf pack to get 2".

    you can use any coilover. theyre not vehicle specific. just make sure the lengths are right. any 05+ leaf pack works. im not sure if removing a leafpack would work, i know you can with 1st gens.

    HPS cold air intake, Feal suspension front coilovers, 5 inch blocks, flowmaster catback.
    if your still looking for front coilovers. get the feal 441 adjustables, you can also get 2 and 3 way adjustables, i have the 14k spring rates (comfort and performance) and i wish i would've picked the 18k (race) model, it's one way adjustable but that's better than nothing, i bought mine a few years ago, dampening and springs are still amazing. and ive drove well over 50k miles on them. i recommend them, for 1200$ they're super solid. go check them out, ill leave a link.

    they're listed under x runner, but they have the same bolt pattern on the top of the coilovers,
