Thanks! It is spindles, shackles, and leaf springs. I also removed the factory blocks aswell. With the leafs and shackles it was still a little to high in the rear so I took the blocks out aswell.

Thanks man, overall it rides really good. You almost wouldn't know that it lowered. The rear is resting on the bump stops so I have to get shorter stops but other than that you can't tell. I would have liked to go lower but I still have to take the truck off road with 2 250 pound dirtbikes in the back so I figured a 2/4 would be perfect for a noticeable drop and still having it function as a truck.

Thanks, what I ended up doing was piecing the kit together from grunion customs in arizona. I'm pretty sure they had the lowest prices around and shipped for free.If you order from them ask for Matt, he's a good guy and will take care of you.

The throttle body made a big difference in part throttle driveability, the motor was more responsive down low, as far as actually picking up more power, I could not feel a difference at wide open throttle. I have a spare L92 intake I'm gonna have ported along with the throttle body down the road so I think then I will probably benefit from it. I would try it anyways and if you don't like it you can always sell it. There are plenty of guys that will buy it. You may or may not have to tune for it, I know some guys did and some didn't.
