Used DJM shackles and hangers in the rear. Removed the 2" Block in the rear. DJM anti sway bar for the rear and Belltech street performance shocks.

I just got the LCAs in yesterday and am leaving town for a while so I can't help you there. But I got lowering keys installed and in combination with the LCAs I shouldn't have to use the keys that much. But I'll let you know

Thanks for the thoughts guys.

Haha ya if you stand perpendicular to it it isn't the best looking but i really like it. Should fit an intercooler nicely.
