ok i know this has been discussed before but I just couldn't find what i was looking for. Lowering my AWD. I know a few peeps on here have done it, I was just wondering what you have and how you like it. did you get shocks with it or keep your stock ones. I want to know alllllll!!

what you really need to do is lift it and put big tires on it like an old amc

hahah that would be hot! It would be sweet to slap the vibe up onto a Jeep frame and shoe horn a chevy small block, jacked up on 35's HOT, but I'm not that good! I"ll leave that to the Silveradio when I get it!

You mean there isn't a kit made by anyone for the AWD?

Not yet, because of the independent rear suspension.

Just the lowering springs. Same as the other Prokits.
