There is no kit available right now. Hotchkis is developing a kit, but its been slow going. I beleive that Belltech makes some shackles for the rear to level the truck out, but thats it. Another option is a custom air bag setup like quicktoys truck.

I wouldn't bother getting the TW coilovers. It'd be a lot easier to cut the springs instead and then just wait for hotchkis to hurry up and release their kit.

I had custom springs made to lower my Sequoia 2.5". However, I'd wait for Hotchkis' kit. They will do it right. Hopefully soon.

Okay...The scoop is that no drop kit has been made available for the Tundra as of yet. The only item that is available for leveling the rear are replacement aftermarket shackles. If you are serious about lowering your ride, then wait for Hotchkis. If you want something fabbed then check this out:

"ok-i am going to let out a big secret-the fabricator who did all my fab work on my tundra quit t.r.d. to open up his own machine/fab shop in irvine,ca.It is called racecraft.His name is frank and be sure to tell him that billy from trd referenced you to him and he will be able to help all you tundra/sequoia owners out w/dropping your rides!His shop number is 949-855-6969."

This is a direct quote from what droppedtundra (Billy Valko) wrote in one of the forums. Billy is now running on 33's and I have since installed his drop kit and wheels on my ride (see pics for details).

Hope this helps & good luck,
Ron

There is one more option get Custom made 1'' drop springs for the front and get the Bell-Tech #6400 2'' Rear drop shackle.
I have the bell-tech #6700 1'' drop shackle and now my ride is leveled(check my pics)

I am tring to find a reputable shop to make my custom drop springs.

On a side note Boone dropped his SQ 2.5 inch front and back w/ custom made springs(front) and a Drop leaf springs(back).

sorry im revisitting this thread and thinkin. any competent suspension shop should be able to fab some upper control arms to compensate drop springs and keep everything in check right? i ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way natives truck looks, and want to do the same so i can have somethin noone has seen or has. i am one of those guys that want somethin so different it is like a passion to have somethin different, and after visiting with my need for speed, droppin my truck is the way to go, liftin it wouldnt be economical for the long trips ill be makin in this truck, and a drop would make it real different. and while im at it, i have to ask, what about takin the team west upper mount, and using some kind of airbag shock type thing, to have my truck bagged, and compliment that with a 4 link and bags in the rear? sorry, the wheels in my head are turning a lot, and after drivin my friends bagged chevy, i dont know y i want to drive anything that isnt bagged! thanks for any input

Hey wes how does a bagged ride feel is it really smooth.
And I feel the same way I want to my truck to be different.I see at least 4 tundras that are lifted and a lot with 20''s. I want to drop my ride at least another 2'' with 18''s or 20''s

bagged ride is smooth if executed right, otherwise it rides like a piece of plywood. just gotta find the right amount of air for the bags and it is all good. i want to turn my truck into a lowered z-28 killer, i think i can do it, it will take money, but i think it will all be worth it in the long run! im lookin at a 4/6 total ride height drop with some 18s, and some tires on them that will fill the wheel well. we got a guy with an ex cab chevy with a 4/5 drop and some 17s but they got fat tires on them, like an old hot rod look sorta, and thats what i want, i think it will look good on a tundra. when i get the stuff fabbed it will probly sit on the rims and tires i got now until i can get some 18s and tires, i dunno. and ya, native, explain the front parts your lowering kit had and some pics if possible, thanks

wes
