Thats a better price than i got the lowest price i got was 200 but it wasnt too hard just the time because 9 times out of 10 the bottom bolts are rusted into the shackle sleeve. So they will have to be cut out with a grinder what i did was cut the factory shackles in half the top bolt will slide right out after u cut the shackle in half it will be easier to get to the bottom bolts

Not sure of height since I haven't measured it with the factory's. Being a 2wd and is lowered 2in's from the factory also. You may have to come down another 2/3 drop from how your sits now.
