DJM (through Godfathers customs) has the the least expensive kit the last time I checked. The flip kit should be about $70. It will give you all the brackets and mounts to move your rear axle from under the springs to on top of the springs. This will lower the rear of your truck about 5 inches. This is "usually" a very straight forward project. Now knowing that those axle mount "u-bolts" have probably not had a wrench on them since it was built. You may need a can of "Bustem" and some heat to get them off. I have broken sockets trying to loosen those nuts. No matter what you do to your suspension it is going to take "Bustem" and a little sweat...LOL!
