You don't need a bump steer kit. From what I've heard you can't even tell a difference.

I don't know about where you live but I am in So Cal. and lowered the front and back about 1.25" as much as the stock bolts would allow in the front and cut half the bushings out of the back. NO PROBLEM. Still clears everything including speed bumps and steep curbs. If it's hilly where you are, may be a differnt story. What the heck, try it and if you don't like it, change it back.

Alex03 mine is slammed (no bushings) and I don't use bump steer. To be honest I don't know of anyone with it, so I can't say if it would help or not.
