Lower it using the Tech Tips method... I got 5/8" all the way around with no cutting in about an hour. You only need the kit if you're going WAAAAYY down into the weeds.

For $35-$40 you can buy a lowering kit that provides longer bolts or you can merely use the stock bolts.

To use stock, follow the tips in the Tech Section. If you want a lowering kit, several of our Supporting Vendors in the Forum Mall offer them. I bought a kit, never opened it because using the stock bolts got the car as low as I want it. :flag :chevy

Hope that helps. :yesnod: :seeya

Welcome to the Forum! :seeya
Just follow the (free) instructions in the Tech Tips section.
It's relatively easy to do and the results are well worth the time spent! :D
