Hey Jarrod....
I've been lookin' into lowering components for my reg. cab as well. Nobody
has spindles or control arms yet. Bell Tech will probably be the first to
market. Bell Tech, Eibach, and DJM Suspension all have drop coils up to 3".
DJM and Bell Tech have '97 hanger/shackle kits. Western Suspension says
the hangers from a '96 and earlier kit are a direct fit.
Eibach is currently working on dropped leafs but not ready for the market yet.
I agree with you on the blocks but for their cost I may go this route until
dropped leafs become available. As for the front.......I want a 3" drop it
front and I'm a little leary of doing it all with the coils. I have to do
a bit more research before I make up my mind.
Hope some of this helped.
