Talking Another delivery today

I ordered my drop kit last week from ECE. 2.5" drop spindles, 4" rear drop springs, and a shock relocater kit. With the 1" front springs I have now, I'll have approx. a 3.5/4 drop.

Yeah, ECE rocks! Their 1-1/4" sway bar kit couldn't have been easier to install (although I'm sure an OEM one would have been easy too.)
