    This place maaaaaaaaaay be willing to do it as well. More than likely a minimum order though.

    Wonder if SOS Performance has been inquired about carrying drop knuckles?

    Nope you should be good they'll bolt on without any additions needed. Depending on how low and what size tires you run you might need to roll your fenders

    You can have it all, lowered stance and daily drivability!

    Believe it or not mine actually rides better overall now that it's lowered, dropped just under 3" - had custom front coils built by Deaver (368 lbs) and leafs were de-arched also by Deaver.
    20201022_140728.jpg

    Less floaty at highway speeds and smoother over harsh bumps with the rear dropped lower and more weight back there now. Handles curves like a beast now too, more so from the tires but the drop helped that area too..

    No BS on this one!!

    Whipped up my rear bump stops for my drop at my buddies shop over the weekend..
    20201116_120746.jpg
    20201116_121101 (1).jpg

    and got them installed..
    20201116_135739.jpg

    And with this I think my drop is done for the time being..
    20201022_140459.jpg

    ..although normally when I say "done" that turns out to be "bs"!
