Rob,
Yeah, I plan to lower it front and rear. I'd like to do a 3"/3" drop
but the components for '97's are slow coming to market. So far the
only complete setup I've seen so far in from Ground Force - 2" spring
drop in front/2" block drop in rear and 4 shocks for approx. $425.
I'd really like to wait for dropped spindles. Bell Tech is working on
'em. I've also heard that the '96 and earlier hanger/shackle kits
will work on the '97's. Eibach is working on drop leafs but I think
they're gonna be pricey. I was a little worried with suspension
geometry changes with dropped coils...any problems after your install.
You know, funny steering or tire wear?

Sean, I've got my 93 2wd lowered 1 inch in the rear (used to have it
lowered 2, but not enough suspension travel) and the sway bar hooked
up fine. It REALLY helped the handling, too. Have you considered
dropping it in the front, too? I dropped mine 1 1/2" in the front
using shorter/stiffer springs which I ordered out of a catalog. I
think they cost me about $80 or so, but dang, they helped out a
bunch, too. I've only got 235/70's on my truck and it handles like
its on rails.
