Even with the drop bracket I've seen too many problems with it cranked to 2.5. I'd leave it as is, crank it to 2 inches, and call it good. One of the main reasons why I don't see how that kit is worth $400 for a 1/2 inch over cranking the factory stuff. The a arms are the only good part in the kit, the drop bracket and keys aren't. Hell you don't even need the keys anyways. They take those worthless keys out, drop the price to $150, and label it for the more real 2 inches it might be a good kit.
