Ok, so I ordered everything to drop my '01 that I've had for about 3 months. I was so used to my old hoe dropped 5/7, I'm tired of not being low anymore. I ordered all Mcgaughys parts through www.grunionfabrication.com (http://www.grunionfabrication.com). it cost me $767 for the whole kit plus shock extenders and the carrier bearing bracket. It's 1" drop coils, 2" drop spindles, and 6" flip kit. Grunion had the best prices out of anyone, and I looked everywhere. I also got some Belltech Street Performance Shocks for the rear. They were $107 for the pair. Part # 2209ff. I'm gonna pick up some upper ball joints before I get started on it because I have one busted one. I will post pics here when its done and maybe some progress pics too. I plan to do it next Tuesday, then notch it on Wednesday and do the carrier bearing bracket. Here's some pics of my truck as it sits now:

Ok, kind of a bummer but I took a closer look, and I have one busted lower ball join, one upper with a small pinhole in it, and one busted tie rod end....so I'm going to oreillys tomorrow to pick up 2 uppers, 2 lowers, and 2 tie rod ends, and I gotta rent the tool to press in the lower ones, how do the upper ones go in?
