I honestly can't recommend Hotchkis leaf springs to anyone since I experienced a critical failure with a set of their 1.5inch drop leafs. However once they accepted responsibility, the replacement set that was sent out was the 3.0 inch drop version. I liked the stance a WHOLE lot more. You'll be very happy you went with the 3 inch. The most important part is getting a shock that's tuned for a lowered spring. The hotchkis tuned bilstines are your best bet.
