this is one of the better kits. they have a more expensive version that involves more work on the front, changing your spindles. it was designed for drive way installation. maybe a 6-7 with proper tools

yes, you should deff drop it! kits can range anywhere from $400 all the way up to like $900. it all depends on what you want. 2/4's are on the cheaper side. as for the difficulty of installation... id say about a 4. its not hard, but it would be alot easier if you have an extra set of hands. my buddy and i did my truck in like 4 hours.

I very much agree, my truck has always sat lower than the other stockers. The front had about an half inch clearance on the bumps. And the rear is level with 1 1/2" shackles and O/L and bump stops removed. I plan to go 2" spindles and a modified rear springs to come down a little more.

you think a 4/6 drop on stock 20s and tires would rub at all?
