Anyone got their truck lowered?

I'm thinking about lowering and leveling. Not so much that the body scrapes speedbumps or anything, but maybe three or four inches. Wondering if anyone else did that to a 3rd gen, and how it looks...

 

This truck was at sema. I don't have a completed picture but here's when he started it.

That is waaay not what I'm looking to do

 

I'm an old guy who owned a lowered GM back in the early 2000s. Have always preferred lowered over lifted. Even though my last truck was a F250. That's why I bought a Tundra with the Sport pkg. Color matched and just low enough not to be bouncing. I don't plan on doing anything else to this truck. Rides like a sports car on its street tires. I prefer driving it over my wifes Vette.

 

I don't have any direct experience with this kit, but this might be an option: https://sosperformance.com/products/2022-tundra-23-lowering-kit-tr-2030

 

I wondering if my tires will rub with this kit?

 

Pretty sure you’re gonna need to c notch the frame in the rear if you are gonna drop it

 

there is a guy on here who has used that kit, i believe.

Unfortunately i dont remeber is handle.

 

I just came home with this Magnetic Grey Metallic SR5 2wd. I think it’s got a pretty nice low look as is. The matching ARE cap helps the look.

One easy option for you if you wanted to get a lower look would be a set of larger lighter colored wheels with low profile tires — you can see how the aluminum wheels appear to make the body of my truck look smaller compared to what your black wheels do — they kinda make your truck more monolithic and large.

I think you’d get a good bit of the lowered vibe just by making the wheels look bigger.

And the truck would retain its ride and resale value, which I think tends to go down for lowered trucks because the market is niche. Especially nice new ones.

 

I'd go for the 22" wheels with 40 or 30 series tires! And a drop kit. That will get you down about 4" and then no need for running boards!
