New guy,
Go to www.stylinconcepts.com. Order the DJM 3/5 kit. Stay away form front springs the results are not always consistant...use the lower control arms. The rear is new spring hangers...you need a torch or a lot of grinding to change the hangers. I just installed this kit on my 98rc It looks great, the drop was totally what was advertised. It wasn't too hard to install but if you don't have alot of tools and a good shop have someone else install it. Also what ever you decide remeber to have the front end aligned when you are done. I didn't experience any of the problems posted on this site. The front aligned fine the turning radius was not affected. The only problem I had was a wheel weight hitting the control arm when the wheels are turned all the way. I flatened the weight a little and it clears fine. If you have ?'s abot the kit call DJM's tech line they were very helpful to me.

i'd just like to say that if you are dropping the rear more than three inches, you will need to modify the exhaust system if you already have an aftermarket one installed. i could not install the 4 inch blocks on my 94 because the rear would be sitting right on the exhaust pipes.

I didn't have any exhaust problems. I have the gibson cat back installed and there is plenty of clearance.

how is your exhaust pipes routed under the bed? mine were put on the passenger side near the frame rails, when i tried to put the block in, i noticed that if i hit a bump, there goes the exhaust pipe.
