I used the DJM Suspension kit (front and back) for my drop. The truck as in "frame-off" condition so installation was super easy. The front is easy as long as the kingpins will come out. The rear will require cutting the hanger rivets loose and replacing with the lowered hangers. I cannot remember how much the kit cost but I know that the quality was worth the price. Another note, I have spoken to others using the same kit and all have mentioned cutting the coil springs to create a more neutral tire camber (l l instead of \ /). I have not done that and will wait until the trunk is assembled.
