Can you provide a few details like how long it took you?

Well the whole drop cost me about $120.00, I was about to order the ECE kit when I figured before I spend the cash I might as well trying the cheap route and if I don't like it I'll just order the kit.
I am guessing my truck may have been lowered at one point in time by the PO because it already has a adjustable panhard bar and shorter KYB shocks in the rear.
I pulled the front coils and cut one full coil off and it got me about 2.5-3" of drop and it actually feels like it rides better in the front, to me at least. It took me about 30-40 minutes per side depending on if your ball joints come loose as easy as mine did. Still need to get shorter shocks but the stock ones haven't bottomed out on me yet.
On the rear I already had 2 inch blocks and just ordered some 3" drop springs from Brothers which was having a really good sale. They were around $98.00 for the pair.
They took about 1.5 hours to put in by myself and another 15 or so minutes to dial in the panhard.
Hope this helps.
