i thought i would have a la kit by now? since i dont see the economy getting better, i was thinking of going to something more drivable? my RE 4.5 springs are pretty stiff. witch springs ride the best? OME, BDS? im looking @ some 3-4" ???????

I wouldn't waste the money to drop it 1/2- 1.5".Are you sure it isn't the shocks giving the stiff ride?Maybe switch to BDS.

What are you budgeting for replacement springs and shocks ? DPG Trailgunner coils & OME shocks would be a good choice.

I'm really happy with my OME coils

Lowering it will help with the ride since you are on short arms. 4.5" puts the arms at a pretty steep angle. What size tires do you have now?

if you're just on 33's run some procomp 2" coils, ome 2.5", or bds 3". I wouldn't go with anything larger than 3". Personally if you're going to stick with 33's I would run the 2" coils.
