I'm thinking Nitros all the way around. I actually wanted some Sachs dampers, but I can't find them anywhere. You guys experience any alignment issues or extreme tire wear? We have a superb alignment shop here but I want to get all my crap together before I decide to do the drop. - Og

I'm thinking of going with the Eibach pro damper kit to go with the springs.

I had my local NTB do the alignment. No problems, no tire wear. Been about 8 months so far.

I believe my '07 is running the 1 piece shaft. You being problem-free is definitely making me feel better about the drop. I never owned a vehicle this expensive and I'm a little gun shy. - Og

Going Eibach dampers may be an option also. - Og

I've seen them for less than $300 online, I think it was ajusa. That's where I got my leafs. Good prices and free shipping.

I did, the eibach ones are softer. I'm running GF bump stops right now.

I see where GF offers the 2" kit with bump stops, but the part number doesn't match up with the one you gave me. It was #91201 instead of #91200. I'll order the entire kit with the bump stops, if needed. Am I going in the right direction? - Og

Give GF a call, I'm sure they can shed more light on things than I can. My kit didn't come with bump stops, I got mine from Drew when i bought his GF coil springs from him.

Thanks, Stealth. I'll do that. I trust your judgement since you're not having any problems with your suspension setup. I'll see what GF recommends. - Og
