Update -
I ended up ordering and installing the Hotchkis 1.5 drop leafs kit which come with 1/2" u-bolts and new shackles - the poly bushings were a bear to install in the upper frame-rail holes!! Also installed the new Detroit Speed shock plates and Bilstein HD shocks in rear - it's firm!! https://www.jegs.com/i/Hotchkis/515/2407C/10002/-1
For the front I ordered the BMR upper and lower A-arms - caught a scratch and dent set for $698! Also ordered the Hotchkis 2" drop coil springs. The install will include all new linkage, Addco Industries 1" sway bar with poly bushings, Borgeson steering gear and Bilstein HD front shocks. https://bmrsuspension.com/index.cfm?...601&superpro=0
My front suspension is in terrible shape so I expect a dramatic difference - maybe a little firm?
I realize my tires and wheels are a bit dated being 15x7" wheels, 245 60 15 in rear (26.5 diameter) and 235 60 15 in front.
