Eddie,
I lowered my 99 with the Roush suspension kit using the springs only. I had the whole kit (Bilstein shocks, springs, and swaybars) put on by Roush but the truck was very bouncy and "soft" feeling. The rear end was bottoming out when I went over small speed bumps as well. I had Roush remove the swaybars and Bilstein shocks and put the factory shocks and swaybars back on. Using the Roush springs only worked very well for me, and I believe there are others who have done the same. The # for Roush Performance Products to order the kit is (734) 466-6240. </font>
