Iv'e got some Toxic shocks on my Tahoe and they suk there only about a year old and the rear ones are bottoming out allready.

I try not to buy anything that contains the word economy in the name especially when it's a lowering kit!

But i think you'll be ok iv'e met Paul and i don't think he'd ever sell anything to anyone that isn't of good quality.

As far as the lowering kit gos it should be a bolt on deal and depending on the rims you are runnin' you may have to lip the lower control arm for clearance but you may be allright if your only going down 2" up front.

The rear you will have to remove the bump stop brackets and that will be the hardest part of the job just grind down each rivet head and knock them out with a punch and then remove the bump stop bracket and toss it.

Can't help ya with that grille just follow the instructions and it shouldn't be too bad.

Oh Yeah Happy BD!

Well its economy because its just has springs instead of spindles. Which I will upgrade to later. I didn't want to do a flip kit, so I just went with shackles and hangers and springs. Hence the economy name. Perhaps in a year I will upgrade to some better shocks. Thanks for the input man.

Get that drop on there and show us some pictures! I have been trying to get someone to post pics of a 2/4 but apparently they are shy or don't exist.

I will take lots of pictures. I have had problems finding good pictures of phantom grills from differen't brands and good pictures of drops. I will post lots of pics when I get home. I pull in on St Patie's Day.
