Here you go, the poor boy lowering kit: I still have to trim the bolt threads off, because one will touch the spring seat on bumps, otherwise, 2 fit with no problems.


Here is the result of two kits on each wheel. By the way, Murrays auto parts only charges $7.99 a kit, and they come with extra nuts. Sorry for the crappy pic, the sun is going down again!

Looks great!! FYI, those aren't "extra" nuts. They are lock nuts. Screw them down on top of the already installed nuts, use two wrenches and and tighten them together. This will keep the nuts from backing off with road vibrations and bumps. Hope this helps!!!

Yes, I know about double nutting, but the superior kit only includes 2 per bolt, 3 per bolt are required when used for lifting instead of lowering. The extras do work good for locking though.
