Agreed! I'm looking at the one in post #54. At first I thought it would be way too much to drop 4", but with the intended 30" tire sitting under it, I'll gain about 2" of extra height on the body. So a 4" drop will technically only drop the body 2" from where it stands with the right tires. I think that will be perfect!

Now to figure out if there is enough clearance not to move the 4.6L back at all. I don't want to screw with that until I switch the engine out at a later date.
