It depends on how low you wanna go! A regular kit of lowering springs is not a bad thing, but if you want to get it really low you have to use adj. TCA,s, adjusting shims for the rear wheel bearing houses, stiffer suspension to name a few things. And if you have a 4wd you will need a longer right hand drive shaft too. There,s a lot more that you"need", but everything depends on your wallet and how good you want it to handle.

A lowering kit, as said above, isn't all that bad, and you will need, apart from the kit, is to re-adjust your tracking.

I have KONI's on mine, 2wd, for your info
