you can remedy the lowering vibes that you get by using shorter dogbones or cradle spacers.

cradle spacers are more expensive and a lot of work to install.

shorter dogbones are $20 and easy to install.

lowering changes the angles of your axles so by using either of those solutions it fixes the geometry and you don't get lowering vibes.

you may have to flip your swaybar though. your downpipe might hit it after lowering.

yes, I put in shorter dogbones. You can get them from a Montana/Venture van, they are the same one's WBS and ZZP sell.
