I would recamend not using the stock setup, but use an aftermarket for dropping weight, I dropped well over a 100lbs switching to a weld in crossmember, there are bolt ins from Fatman, TCI, JimMeyerRacing, with these setups you wont have to cut frame and you can use coil over versus airbags, with lowering spindles and different length coilovers you can get the frontend down pretty low. I used Scotts Hotrod IFS sytem, I dont recomend them, the quality is good but it's been over 2 months and I still don't have averything. They don't return phone calls or emails. JMO
