Re: I think I want a 2/4 drop... how would you rate this kit?

It will ride firmer that stock, but will not be harsh. You may need to trim your bump stop rubbers depending on your current shocks condition and tire height.

With that said, my first choice would be to buy 2" or 3" spindles and do the springs later if you want more. Spindles are the best way to lower the front especially if you do not want to change the ride firmness.

For the rear, you can buy a aftermarket hanger, or remove the rivits and move the stock hanger up 1.5" and drill new holes. If you can find a Burb hanger you won't have to trim the top off.

Good luck with it.
Thanks.
