    Hi there and welcome! Have you taken a look at this lowering kit from SOS Performance? It should have most of the items you need: https://sosperformance.com/products/tundra-racing-lowering-kit-fits-2000-2006-tundra

    Just letting you know you might not get too many detailed answers about lowering your truck on this forum since most of us tend to lift our trucks here instead.

    As for the 20" wheels, it depends on which ones you purchase. You'll need to take into consideration the backspacing/ offset of the wheel you want to put on - that determines whether the wheel will clear your suspension components. I would be worried about hitting your upper control arm with a 20" wheel. I would think you'd want a wheel with less backspacing to move the wheels outward.

    Wish I could be of more help, but hopefully this information steers you in the right direction.

    You don't list whether your truck is 2WD or 4WD in your info section. If it's 4WD it adds an extra can of worms. It's far easier to lower a 2WD truck, I wouldn't even bother trying to do anything except level a 4WD.

    If 2WD, I've always appreciated Belltech, but they tend to favor American manufacturers and leave Nissan, Toyota, and Honda to settle with DJM and similar brands. Last I checked they only have driveline shim kits for our trucks but no proper kits.

    Good info. OP did say they are 2WD in their intro thread, but yes not in their profile description.
