1. For the front he put in DJM Front 3" drop I beams which completely replaced the front I Beams.

2. No notching of the frame needed. For the rear he used Suspension Maxx reverse hangers and drop shackles to go down 5".

Take a look at this thread for some pictures of what we did:

Looks great! Some wheels and front end adjustments and it will really stand out!

I've been thinking about getting Rockstars too. I definitely want something 18" or 20" and flat black. Rockstars would be my first choice but price is always the deciding factor. I have to guess you're gonna get black and not chrome. 20" black Rockstars on your truck would look sick!
