Drop springs are what a lot of people go with since they do what you want for a decent price. Ride will be a lil stiffer, handling will be improved as well. Just depends on what you want.

Yup lowers the center of gravity and reduces body roll. I would say they are not hard to install but that is me, to you it may be very hard to install. Kinda hard to say. Here is a vid you can watch and decide for yourself.

Depending on how low you want to go, I'd recommend Pfadt for 1.25" or Hotchkis for 1" Both are excellent springs. Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,
