I think 3/4 is too much, but that's just me.
(especially when you consider what you have to do IN ADDITION to the lowering kit)

Ok maybe you guys could help me out also. I got the 2" lowering shackles and my truck at the moment sits even but i would like to go about 1 inch lower all the way around and would also like for it to handle awesome. (not really into drag strip)

I also tow 2 Sea Doo GS.

What are my options???

I will be posting a bunch of pics (maybe even a technical article) real soon. I just need to get the damn digital camera back from my mother-in-law. GRRRRRR!!!!!

Hopefully, none of the pictures she's taking of her poodle "snickers" make it into the posting.

Here are a few pics of the FRPP kit:




Personally, I love the kit...cost me $150 to install and like $130 for the kit. It handles so much better than stock in my opinion and it looks great! If you are looking for a fairly cheap way to go and still want great suspension, this is the way to go....

For those of you with headers, keep an eye on them with drop kits....I found my passenger side header being dug into by a piece of the frame after lowering

That FRPP kit looks perfect. I wonder if it will affect towing ability. I need to tow a 3200# car every once in awhile.

What does the kit consist of? springs in the front and different leafs in the back?

Towing capacity is different from load carrying capacity.
