I need help! I don't know if I want to just level thee rear end or do a complete lowering kit. Any help with pro's and con's of each? Also, I am going to stay with my stock size wheels (17's). I don't know if that matter's at all, but any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Many folks start with lowering the rear for a level look. This is a good look, without spending a lot of money. Then there are a some who want a lower look and more performance oriented ride and normally go to a 2/4.5 drop. The rear is pretty much standard with a flip kit and shocks. Remove the OEM bumps. Front you can go either with shorter springs or a drop spindles. Drop spindles allows you to maintain a closer to stock front suspension geometry. If tou want more you are into serious suspension mods and will be the one answering the questions. Good luck....

How would I go about just dropping the rear for the level look? I saw at one point leveling leaf spring kit, but can't seeem to find them anymmore. And all the flip kits I see are like 5" drops... that is too much, is it not?

Hey Jarrod904 i wanted to know did u get the BellTech with the Nitro Drop 2 shocks or the Street performance one? Because now the shop i was going to has not ordered my drop and never put my in the book for tomorrow so i have to wait until the 27th to get it done or go somewhere else and order the drop myself.
