    Quick question guys, how much lower was the 2nd gen that came lowered from factory?

    I liked the look of that one but undecided on this one. I’m thinking with different wheels it’ll look great

    No one take this serious as I literally did this in 5mins in Paint. But are there any lip kits available for these trucks? I know the Xrunners had them but not sure about the 3rd Gens.

    Also, these trucks would look awesome lowered much more as well.

    I’ve had the SOS performance 2/3.5 kit on my 16 for about a year and a half. I have mild driveline chatter off the line spring pop at full steering lock but all in all I’ve been happy with it. If you have a load in the bed on stock shocks you will hit your bump stops but that’s the nature of the beast. I may check into having the driveshaft shortened an inch or so. And have considered eibach pro alignment upper control arms. I wouldn’t recommend any more drop in the rear without a c notch.
