    Is there a lower control arm kit to correct the caster? I got the same kit but want to make my alignment close to factory.

    Do you know any good shocks that can go with the lowering kit that can help it lower it a bit more. I’m trying to run some 20x10 18 + off set

    I had coilover but switched back to SOS lowering kit with Bilstien 4600.If switching to 4600 from 5100 need to order the lowering spacer for the 4600 as 5100 shocks bigger diameter. Then added 1in spacers between ball joint bracket . Spacer idea from member @hirod. This way is way cheaper than coilovers and the 4600 bilsteins rides pretty good .

    Above is for prerunner . About the lowest you can go with out messing with alignment or ride . Rear shocks using viking dual adjustable shocks xrunner specs

    Rear shocks are from viking that fit stock xrunner. Need to mount on stock factory location not sos kit mount. Coilivers got from viking with springs from hibachi and top mount from dirt king.


    Coilover setup was about $1200. With some front setup with blistering 4600 shocks and spacers was about $600. That's about the lowest for front with out messing with alignment and ride quality issues in my opinion. Coilovers with be good if you want handing for say like autocrossing
