In response to jcofieldjr

I recently installed a set Fatmat dropped uprights and dropped steering arms on mine. Picked them up used for $270. Keep and eye out for some used one, you see them time to time on eBay or the HAMB. New you're looking at over $600. I like the way it turned out. I'm also planning on dropping the front anoter 1.5 - 2 in. with some dropped lowering coils.

For the rear I made some 3 in. lowering blocks. Anything taller puts you way below the scrub line.

Here's how my mine sits with 2.5 in. dropped uprights and 3 in. blocks. Evantually I'm goint to put new leaves in the back when I do a drive line swap. I'd like to get the rear dropped 4 in. Anymore that that I think you'd be ridding really close to the frame.
