7 to 8 full turns of the bolts gives you about an inch of travel. As there's such a high gap in the wheel well stock and running fairly low ratio tires any percentage of drop is very significant visually.
OK, So how do I do this? I see you wrote, 7 to 8 turns of the bolts gives you an inch of travel. Where are the bolts? Behind the wheels or in the suspension? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys,

+1 I need to do this. I think there is a youtube video somewhere.

Remember we will need an alignment after doing this.

I had an alignment done after I lowered mine and the shop said that it was off about a quarter inch on front and rear toe in. Camber was OK though. It is real easy to do!!
