    I'm considering lowering with a 2/4 from Tundra racing or maybe just dropping the rear to level it out. I want better handling with the looks. In L.A. I don't need 4x4 or lifts and have been liking the sport truck look more an more since moving out here.

    This is the kit I am liking.

    Anyone use this?

    Precisely. I like the OEM offerings and am thinking one of these two. Would love the 22" forged but they're outta my price range for now.

    There's some up on Craigslist with newer rubber for $1k. Guy Hasn't responded yet. Hope to snatch them up for 8-$900

    I like 20s because you get to keep some sidewall of the tire and some comfort for those nasty roads here in L.A.

    I'm a sucker for a RCSB. Lowered or 4 x 4 either way if it's got a V-8 it hits my soft spot.
    Now if I could only find one with a manual trans.

    It's funny you say that. My ultimate mod is converting it to a stick.

    I'm not sure what the process is to transformer the beast to a manual but I'm sure it's not an easy feat
