So after 6 months of convincing my wife I now have the kit on it's way! So I have a 2" drop spindle for the front and a 3" spring in the rear with shock extenders. My question is for the people that have done a drop on there XL any surprises I need to know about before I get it all apart and run into a speed bump. Any help that I can get ahead of time would be great because the longer I have it apart the more she will think it's a bad idea lol Thanks!

1 surprise is you'll want to go lower. 2 it'll look good, but you'll want more low.

One of things I ran into on burb when doing the drop was getting the wheel bearings to seperate from the old spindle and getting the spindle to seperate from the lower ball joint.

The rear was a easy swap took 30 mintues

One thing I would do is cut the stud to the upper ball joint after everything is back together that way if you booger the threads it wont keep you from putting the ride back together.
