The lowering kit is for the back. It is basically just longer bolts than the stock ones, that let you lower it quite a bit without having to cut the bushings.

$50 ? who charges $50? I have them for $28 right now. You can accomplish the same thing, to a point, by cutting the bushings. But with the kit you have a lot more adjusability and you can put it back to stock without buying more bushings

** Get your own at the hardware store.**
Here in town there is a place called, "fire & fastners". The parts there total to about $3.30, but $5.00 is the minimum. Oh no, how can they charge $5.00 for a couple of bolts w/hardware?
Better than what these other places are charging. I would like some of these other places to explain why they charge so much for nothing. I have noticed this with alot of parts for my hummer as well. A $69.00 lift kit for, say a chevy. This would have the delrin "bushings" and a couple bolts & hardware. A Good profit for what is in it.
Almost exactly the same kit (3" dia. pucks & bolts pretty much the same) for a hummer with a few more pieces = $500!!! I ended up making my own at work with my co-workers help. This cost a little over a tenth of that, including the labor.
Why is it when it comes to corvettes, hummers = fancy cars?, etc SOME (not all) people/businesses get greedy?
