    Thanks man! Any reason why you're replacing the chain? I've never had to replace one, usually just hear of the guides going out.

    So this is what I decided to go with, Pretty lame drop but I'm looking for performance over looks.
    Can anyone suggest where to get a bushing kit, sway bars or other goods that will help with handling?

    energy suspension for the steering rack, moog blue bushings are good for the sway bar bushings.

    I have helper bags on the rear of my Xrunner, I also have a 2 in drop. I used
    $295 AIR LIFT 59564 Ride Control Rear Air Spring Kit
    AIR LIFT 59564 kit, I didn't mount them how the directions say because I have a rear sway bar. I mounted them in front of the axle and they work great. I also have the wireless air kit so I can fill them remotely.

    Never really cared enough for the lifted truck look to do it to one of my vehicles but I've lowered a few in my day. The 4wd in my truck has been used maybe 3 times in the 80,000 miles I've owned it. I've looked thru about 30 pages of this thread, so far, I haven't seen a 4x4 base model lowered with the black fender flairs. I'm not sure how a lowered base would look with the black flairs, any opinions?

    Did you already buy it? Summit racing has $150 rebate right now on this kit so price drops to $277!!! Curious to know your thoughts after installing because I'm looking to go this route too. I'd love QA1s but $$$

    @hemitruk do you know how i could go about dropping the rear another half inch or inch if i already have the sos 3.5" drop out back? I am thinking i will need to add some hellwigs to keep it from bottoming out as it bottoms out right now sometimes

    Id like to make the truck sit level, it has some rake right now

    That is correct on what my setup is. Plus the stiffer XR leaf springs, and shorted bump stops.
