I did know that they were all the same P/N, but I find it odd that most
places (including Eibach themselves,) advertise the springs as giving
v6/RC's a 1" drop, and going lower from there depending on cab and engine.

Ok, I'm a little confused here. I've been looking on
sporttruckdirect.com at their western chassis parts, and they list a 2"
Hanger and a 2-2.5-3" adjustable shackle. If I put on the hanger and
the shackle, with the shackle at it's "highest" (least lowering) point,
I will end up with 2" of lowering, correct? I'm leery of doing a 2"
block because of the potential for more axle wrap, but with my 1" rear
swaybar, would I have problems with that?
As for shocks, I have a set of KYB Gas-a-Justs coming for the front, but
I'm sure they can handle being dropped 1" at the max - as in they'll
have to. I'll replace the rear shocks when I do the rear drop - seems
like a waste of a pair of Monroe Sensa-Tracs, though. :-/
