Lower it all at once, 5 inches is alot and if u just lower the back, you'll be scrappin your ass end on every speedbump or pot hole. Doing just the back at first will give you serious "Droopy Drawers". Saggin ass end.

With the 3&5" kit the back a tinny bit lower in the back so DO NOT buy the 3&6 or you will have a sagging rear. 3&5 looks about level but a tinnny bit lower in the back but i think that 3&4 would look pretty sweet just not quite as low.

I used Toxic shocks on my drop and they seem to work pretty nice. I was going to go with the edelbrock self adjust shocks but i heard there not all that good. The Toxic shocks are like $32 a peice and work good. If you get the DJM kit be sure do replace the factory bumpstops with the ones that they give you. With this lowering kit there is absolutely no travel in the rear suspension with the factory bumpstops. This will give you a much smother ride. I still have factory bumpstops in the front because it rides decent in the front.
