Default Lowered 4X4 Supercabs, Need Pics!

Currently running a 2.5" RC Level on 35X12.5R20 Trail Grapplers. Quite frankly just tired of the stiff ride from the bigger tire and added weight dragging the truck down. Plus I live in TN where winter is all but non-existent.

I did some searching with no results, but does anyone here run the Crown 2/4 or Crown 3/5 drop kit for the 4X4 trucks? I'm leaning towards the Crown 3/5 kit, on my stock 20s with a 275/60. Has anyone had issues with Crown Suspension being there substantially cheaper than DJM and Belltech? I see some people posting about the driveshaft being to long after being lowered? Anyone have this issue?

Any photos would be appreciated! Info on setup, tire size, etc. I'd consider any kit, just looking at options!

Trade it for a 2WD... don't punish the truck like that.

I may just pull the level off, and go with a 275/60R20 Toyo AT2. Quite a bit lighter, and with the fact that I have already removed the rear block, it may sit about where i'd want it to and still be practical. I have absolutely no use for 35X12.50 and there only dragging it down. Only reason I am considering a 2/5 ( since I would have the block gone ) is I plan on adding boost later on this year, and the tires are gonna hold me back there.

At 2/5, it would still be plenty able enough to use the 4X4 if I need it.

Im ALL for lowering, but at 2/5, unless you airbag it, you wont be doing much towing. 5" in the rear????? wow! ok....

4x4, yep youll still have that...but your going to be close to bottoming out

This is a Crown 3/5 on a 4X4 RCSB. No where near bottoming out, and frequently used for towing.

The 4X4 trucks sit substantially higher from the factory than the 2WD do.

For all I know I may have the look I want after pulling the level. Just tired of the sloppy ride from a level and such a heavy tire. I'm after that same stance as that blue truck haha! And I believe his name is Cory Christman. From the FB group!
