Too many projects so little time.

My aero cap is still unfinished as of yet. The wife said I had to finish the bathroom remodel before I get any of MY projects finished. You know what they say....If Mama ain't happy, nobody's happy. LoL
Didn't realize you have a 97, you will have a hard time aligning your front end with just drop springs. you would be best off to go with some lowering i-beams. 'dream beams' are good for about 3" up front and a flip kit is good for 4" in the rear. it will sit nice and level and should ride alright with new bumpstops and drop shocks.
