    for the front id run kingspring kffl-13's theyre legal and cheap.
    the rear depends on how you want to do it cheapest and easiest option is lowering blocks,

    next option id be looking at is getting the rear springs reset to the requires height and some extra springs added to stiffen up the ride. any suspension shop such as kingsprings or even 4wd shop can do it, just take the springs into them

    yeah ive heard that resetting springs never works out right.

    never heard anything bad about lowering blocks though?

    ive got a pair of 1.5" lowering blocks that i got from aus lowriders or somesh!t. got them on ebay for like $80 or something

    the reason there sh*t is because they make axle tramp 1000X worse new springs are the way to go, btw what's everyones onpinion on those single left replacements ya can get in any stiffness?
