Measure it as stock and make sure you have the angle shims on hand and set it the same after you put the shorter blocks in....easy peezy.

you could cut the coils like duster said but dont heat them......also it may cause a lot of inside wear on your tires if you cut to much off...

i am looking for a nice 3in drop but i like the stance on the one from compD due to the fact i don't have to worry about drive shafts and all the headaches to get it really low. i just want it lower then what it is, kinda the same height as the 2 wheel drive 2500. nothing 2 crazy! plus i have a crazy small budget due to looking at buying a house!

I'd follow the CompD thread then and do exactly as he did.....you should have similar results and it should be pretty cheap to.
