    www.sosperformance.com is the easiest.

    To get lower, requires coilovers, (QA1's from www.xiiperformance.com) strut tower adapters, axle flip kit from one of the vendors here, XR rear shocks (xii has those as well.)

    This method will have less axle wrap^^^

    Tundra racing AKA sos performance has the best price on their drop kits listed on ebay. that's where i got mine. i wish it was a little lower, but it works without too hard of modification. (i still have 265/70 tires on it too)

    Mine is about as low as a spring lowered XR.

    Not a DJM lowered XR.
