I pretty sure McGaughy's has what you need. Check with our Forum Vendors in the Suspension Marketplace.

Re: lowering kit for 2011?

I just lowered my 2010 shorty 2/3" with parts I got from summit racing. Its definatley not a drastic drop. I just wanted to give it the stance it should've had from the factory. I used Western chassis 2" springs (WST-107200) and a Belltech 2-3" shackle kit (BEL-6401). I got it all shipped to my door for $235. The shackle kit says its adjustable because you can get an extra inch by taking out the factory lift block. They give you nut spacers for the u-bolts(you really dont need them). I'll try to get some pics up soon.

Yes without going the dropped spindles route if you want just a little drop. Eibach makes a kit,costs you around 2/4" drop for around $220.00. sometimes 189.00 Belltech does not offer a complete kit but components that end up costing more.
