Planning on lowering the Jimmy REAL soon w/ the Belltech kit, but I just want to know what is generally replaced/maintained when performing this?

Are new shocks/struts reccommended? A certain type perhaps?

If I'm going through the trouble of having it lowered, what else should I do to ensure I have a safe and comfortable ride?

Up front I would go with drop spindles and lowering springs. Out back a 3" drop block. Also recommend Belltech drop shocks and a c-notch.:D

Just noticed you have a 4x4. Does Belltech make a 4x4 lowering kit?
