Default Shocks and struts combination

O.K. so I have done some searching on the site for a new suspension. I have decided to go with a set of df210 for the 2" drop with a set of 17" wheels. I just can't seem to find any dampers for my new box (just bought a couple of weeks ago). I am thinking about the TRD dampers because they seem to be the least expensive but carry the Toyota name. But can they handle the drop? The only options for dampers seem to be Koni (too expensive for my liking), Tokico (would love but also expensive), or Monroe (don't seem to be performance capable). So can anyone give me advice on my pick for the TRD or present some other options that have not shown up? Thanks in advance guys!

Anyone? Please? Also another question while I'm waiting. As far as aleignment goes should I align my box right after I lower the car or wait for a couple of weeks for the springs to "settle"? Is a camber kit necessary for a 2" drop?

Camber kit not necessary at all. Wait a couple weeks for alignment.
