Default new setup for project truck...whatta you think..

Well I had considered leaving the truck as it is now suspension wise (2" shackles in the rear and KYB shocks) but have decided to do a 3"/4" drop with QA1 Coil Overs in the rear and I'm not sure what shock up front. Probably will end up doing a 5 bolt conversion in the front and run a skinny wheel but not yet. Also went ahead and got some $139 slotted/drilled rotors for the thing off EBAY. We'll see how it looks once its all installed, I'll post pics. How do you guys think the 3/4 will improve performance straight line wise?

Also ordered an Earls 5 line brake line kit, has anyone had any experience with this setup?
