Thanks... I found 2 Belltech kits for my year... one for $369 and another for $139... neither include shocks but what else is the difference between them that the price is so different... anyone experienced either or know backround about it? Thanks again

Ok, I've found lots of kits that include shocks, blocks, spindles, and springs... I presume that is everything correct? Now, the question I have left is are 2WD and 4WD kits the same of is something different? A lot of the kits I found don't say between 2WD & 4WD... also, since I'll be dropping it the correct way, am I gonna have to worry about camber problems at all or nothing major? Thanks

Ok, from what I gathered up so far, I can put blocks on the back with some nice shocks... but what I can't seem to find is a way to drop the front on 4WD 3-4in. Anyone know of a kit or part # i can search for? Thanks

Ok... found a kit. Its Belltech's #BEL3913... includes blocks and torsion relocating kit, is this kit any good? Obviously I'll have to get a set of shocks and what not but if possible I wanna try and get some opinion's on this kit. 3" drop is all I want for right now, does anyone know if I'll have a camber problem or will I be fine? Thanks again

thats pretty much the only way to do a "bolt on" drop on a 4x4 is torsion keys and blocks or springs. if i were you, id spend the extra money and get the lowering springs for the back. they're more durable and will ride a lot better. as far as your alignment concern...you'll definatly need an alignment whenever you lower (or lift) a vehicle. otherwise you'll go through tires like nothing.
