    Running the djm 3/4 kit? What you got up front? Springs w/ the upper & lower control arms from the kit. I like the drop, just need some wheels!

    Here's my attempt at a lowered Taco. My '13 RC with XII springs, '16 4x4 leafs and X-Runner Bilsteins. Rear still needs to go down a hair, but I'm trying to decide by how much. I dont want to overdo it and make it look like the rear's sagging, so maybe I'll start with a 1" block. BTW has anyone had the issue with offcenter (left to right) axle? A few posts here make it seem like it's a known thing, and I wanted to try and combat that by getting a block with an offset pin to help correct it. Opinions?

    Oh and wheels are 18x9 et20.

    I have the sos performance lowering kit too. I’d like to go lower myself. My big thing about sos is getting negative camber even after alignments. Curious if you have the same problem? My steering is straight though. I need a new lower stance that looks good but more importantly rides good too.

    That next step can be done. Look at @RedLantern 's truck. Purchase an axle flip kit from an off road vendor. Just the perches. Use the OEM leaf hangers. Then on the "cheap" get the www.XIIperformance.com coilovers.

    Yes, his is.

    I have seen the vendors' kits, but never remember which vendor it is, or are. That would be an easy question to find an answer from the mass though.

    I used Calvert racing perches, but they need to be completely welded up. This is why I recommend the off-road kit versions. Bolt-on like the TR kit.
