The DC in the SOS pics is mine and I'm extremely pleased with the lowering kit. My biggest gripe with the DC was it's stance, way too much room in the wheel wells. Luckily I live fairly close to Tom's shop and found his business. I can say that they are a very professional group of guys and have quite a background in modifying vehicles. While I didn't do the install myself I can say that it is extremely easy and doesn't require large changes in your truck. The ride is great, actually I think it's much better than the stock ride, smoothed it out. I always felt the stock ride was spongy and seemed to "hop" a bit. I also had the Tokico shocks installed. I added 20" Centerline wheels and BFG G-Force 265/50s. I'm also very pleased with them. My whole purpose with my Tundra was to make it race-styled and I think I've accomplished my goal.

Truck looks great. I am going to have to look into the SOS lowering kit as well. I just need to find someone in Dallas to install it!

Unfortunately I just moved to Dallas and live in an apartment, so I don't have anywhere to do the install, regardless of its simplicity.

It shouldn't be too hard to find someone to install it for me though if it is that simple, so that's good to know.

I recently installed the SOS lowering kit on my Flareside.
It looks good, the handling doesn't really 'feel' any different now, and with the overload springs removed it softened up the ride just a bit so it's now the same as a normal Access cab.

Overall, I'm pleased.
