You're going to need to do it right, unless you want to have terrible alignment. Pick a thread to continue, having two doesn't make sense.

You're going to need to do more research on this but the Belltech lowering springs for 2 inches of drop say they'll fit 97-04, so I would assume that the Springtech 3 inch kit would fit an 04 even though it only says 03. I can't see why one fit would fit all those years and the other wouldn't. They are after all only springs.
