3/3 drop is nice, what kit did you wind up gettin, belltech? Heres a pic of mine, 99 with a 3/3 drop, and a 2/2 drop from the 40 profile tires.

You wont find a kit for a 4x4 lower then 3/3, after 3 inches you will run into problems with a 4x4. i was lucky to get the extra 2 inches without altering suspension, even tho i might be doin a mono leaf in the back, and custom torsion brackets up front to allow up to another 5 inches of drop in the front

so psi how did u shave ur inside doorhandles? i notice ur sig..

and with a 4x4 u are limited with your drop. after 3" drop with suspension you run into problems, like ur control arms goin bad, popin bushings, shortenin your driveshaft, then onto ****in with your halfshafts, drop shocks all that crap goes wrong

i got a k5 and there was no place to mount the solenoid cause the latch is f'd up in those. so i mounted the the solenoid where the handle was and just carpeted the trim panel to cover it up. im not an upolsterer so its not perfect, but it works for a beater.

also i forget what issue it was, but there was a feature 4x4 blazer in mini truckin that was bagged and body dropped and still kept the 4 wheel drive, so it is possible...tons of work, but possible.
