Keys and springs

Spindles and springs
I think McG (not sure about Belltech) say that you have to at least have
17's, so you're good for spindles

Spindles, keys and springs - you're talking 5" territory now.....

Best ride will be spindles and springs vs keys in the front

3" rear drop "should" use shock extenders unless you trash the stock shocks
And you'll need to adust the Autoride if you keep the stock shocks also.

There's Belltech, McGaugheys, DJM, GroundForce...etc
There are supporting vendors here that have some GREAT prices, lots of opinions on which rides best etc

From what I know, Belltech and McG ride pretty good.
Ground force is just overpriced for minute drop amounts!

How low do you want? Belltech spindles, 3" coils, shock extensions, and shorter autoride links will be your best bet for a nice ride and 2/4ish drop. Any lower and you'll want some lowering torsion keys for another couple inches, you can't go lower than 5" drop in back with the stock autoride shocks...I had to swap in some bilsteins but it rides much better.
