I was lucky, I got one of the last whiteline bars that came with all the brackets so you don't need a stock bar
No I didn't

"you'll have to grab the front control arms as well for the mounting tabs"

It was poorly worded, I know.


Anyway, back to topic!

Hey Rob, you know any other get-it-your-damn-self-and-pay-for-it junkyards around here besides Crazy Rays?

why don't you just get APEX springs? they're cheaper and they lower it 1.7"

In my opinion, 2" will be too much. Your rear will bottom out over heavy bumps if you have any passengers back there, unless you get some really stiff shocks.

If you weigh 200lb you won't be able to take another 200lb person with you comfortably.

If you want a 2" drop, you will need to go coilover with very stiff springs and shocks.
