    Rides much better .Not choppy ,bouncy over bumps . I got it set at what they recommended for street ride . Can adjust for handling and race also. Just took along drive today .Wanted to test before getting alignment. Will experiment with different settings latter .I got it set 1/2 in. lower then TR kit .Rubs a little top of fender linner over speed bumps if going over to fast but I also running 285 /50 /20 so almost 32in tall tires .If can align within specs I will leave it this height.

    As far as what one to buy down load the viking chart I posted (pdf) Guess best to Measure your ride height or height you want center of bottom bolt to top plate . The viking chart shows ride height range and comp and extended specs . So if ride height is say 18 in check what coilover within that range and you should be good . The Extended and compressed lengths got specific ride height range . Will try post screen shot . Will try measuring my ride height measurement latter .
    Pic on phone of chart .will update

    20201004_214546.jpg

    I got the C219 .The ride height measurement is 16 5/8 to 18 1/4 and to right of that comp and ext. lengths Down load chart then can see everything

    Yup! I’m definitely ready to get this TR drop kit off my truck completely. I’m just hesitate of these Vikings not fitting and hitting the axle.

    You got stock bump stops or shorter one ? Swapped in shorter ones and most pot holes not a problem .As for back think will leave it like this for now .

    For me, XR leaf springs, with a spring under axle perch, and OEM hangers/shackles. Removed a ton of axle wrap.

    Good call in the bump stops. Is there a good brand you prefer?

    I can’t wait to take out my TR drop kit. It’s all rusts in the rear. Their powder coat job is a joke. But I don’t have much axle wrap with the 4 leaf flipped over. Regardless it’s coming out. I’m set on getting new coil overs and rear shocks to level out and drop her

    SOS performance sell one . Its the energy suspension one .Will try see if can find it . Don't have to pick up from SOS though . Swapped mine the 1st week .Don't know why Sos kit doesn't come with one .With stock one only got like 1/2 in to 1/4 in clearance ? Big difference in ride when you swap.

    Funny thing. I was going to purchase one some time ago. For the temporary, I used a Sawzall to trim my OEM bumps. I guess temporary is a relative term. Lol

    Here is my method of determining exactly how much rear drop I will be shooting for next week when de-arching my leafs..

    20201015_160422.jpg

    Looks like a 2 5/8" drop will leave the rear a bit lower in relation to the front than the factory rake but still a bit higher in the rear to handle some weight.

    Thinking this looks just right to me!

    I have two questions since this seems to be the go-to thread.

    1. What are options for a lowering kit for a 3rd Gen SR5 RWD dcsb?

    2. Are there any body kits for a 3rd Gen similar to the 2nd gen X runner?

    i know you mentioned being worried about bottoming out shocks so you might want to look into shorter shocks. when doing a leaf spring drop you shorten the shock travel. just figured i'd throw it out there.
