Did you take the block out of the rear? That'll be the other inch drop...

Yeah, the 1" cast iron block was removed with the flip...

I'm tempted to re-install the factory shackle hangers, but I don't know if that would drop it another inch or two inches. Before I began the project, I decided I could live with a minimum of 2" of compression of rear suspension til it hits the bumpstops. I guess I could always remove the 1.5" tall bumps that come with the DJM kit and replace with lower profile bumpstops to gain back some suspension travel...

If I did drop the rear another inch, I'd have to re-disassemble the front struts to match the extra inch drop, and I had a hell of a time with those!
