usually the kits are kind of expensive. I got 2" beltech springs $130, 4 nitro drop shocks $39 each,and 2" blocks $39.
summit racing has 3" blocks for $46 I got the 2" ones, they were cast iron by Ground Force .
The alignment pins didn't fit into the rearend so I had to grind them down,but they worked.

summit don't always list the #'s you need so I go to the mans. web site or call them for #'s.

For 2" drop in front you might be able to skip the front shocks (beltech lists the same shock for 0-2" drop) ,but it would be best to get them.

My 2/2 drop is about $330.00 total shipped.
summit is free shipping on most things.

I paid $300 for 2" a-arms, 3"-5" adjustable hangers/shackles, and 4 drop shocks. I got a hell of a deal. I bought mine used and it is in EXCELLENT condition. Thats the way to do it.

Chris I have a '94 club cab with a v-8 I just talked to the local custom shop here in town and they sald they could get me some belltech 2" or 3" front coil springs on the back I used 4" blocks.

Whatever you do DO NOT but Aim springs I bought a set for my '94 Dak and the springs were crap they didn't fit rightand the ride was terrible. Go to belltech's website or call them they should have some.
