Thank you mcbassin. I bought the drop blocks off Ebay. The blocks are aluminum and it has "Made in the USA" which is nice to see. Instructions said it will take 45 minutes to install, which is about the time it took us. My suggestion would be to soak the old U bolts with some form of penetrating oil, I use PB blaster, to help the old U bolts break loose. I did this for a few weeks prior and the old nuts broke loose very quickly.

The hard part of the install for me was maneuvering the U bolts out an new ones in because my hard brake line runs across the top of the axle, so I had to bend them slightly out of the way.


Here is a link to the lowering kit.
