PS

Just looked up Kit . Is it the 8" bolts kit with poly that will allow me to lower rear?
I haven't tried the poly bushings but I would think they would add to ride harshness since road shocks and bumps act pretty directly on them. I would stick with original rubber if it were me. My 2 cents.

I am looking for a smooth ride. 7,000 mile trip coming up next summer, my rear end (my own ) needs as few bumps as possible.
