    does everyone flip the top and bottom ones? iv only see write ups on the bottom ones and i understand that the top ones are 4 bolts so don't need a write up I'm just curious if people only flip the bottom ones?

    I did both, like you said, it's only 4 extra bolts per side.

    2" dont make a difference. At all. Leave it, more trouble than its worth to raise it.

    I don't even consider 2" as being lowered. :lol:


    Just need to be mindful of debris in the road and some entrances/exits to businesses and of course speed bumps.
