    Does anyone know where I could find some lowering kits, like coil overs, shocks, shackles, etc… for my 2003 tundra. Its 4x4, extended cab, 6ft bed with the 4.7l.

    That one looks amazing and I have had thoughts of doing the same but that has to be all custom and I'm sure pretty expensive to get it that low.

    None at this point.
    LOL....Reminds me of the time we stopped at the 7 Eleven to buy beer before going to Bear Creek Park here in Houston.
    The place was always packed with people doing the same.
    A Car load of Mexican Dudes pulled in driving a lowrider and My Buddy asks them it it had hydraulics.
    The Mexican Guy says(in my best Cholo accent) Nah Man the spring are broke!!

    Huh, nothing wrong with lowered to a certain degree. My 2010 RCSB 4WD has the rear lowered with shackles kit and airbags. It handles so much better and I got a beast of a Land Cruiser for off road duties. SOS make very good stuff, strong quality and well enough designed to be done in the shop by a DIYer

    My suggestion on springs is to have custom ones made at a spring shop. Lowering 4x4 is harder, doable. I like that 2nd gen.

    I wish there was an easy way to slam the 2wd models. I'd love a lowered 2wd RC for hauling motorcycles and dirt bikes and home depot runs. It would make it so much easier to justify lifting my 4wd more.

    Just read that sos performance site, that’s how to lower your rig.
