Hi,

why lifting a car and then losing the clearance again with drop boxes?
Better buy some cranked trailing arms.

I'm pretty sure either Snake Racing or Superior Engineering make them to stock. I can't remember which one though sorry, so Im not really much help.

Because cranked trailing arms don't fix the geometry problems caused by excessive lift, they only fix caster. you still have to deal with excessive wheel recession under droop and ride problems caused by bump impact being transmitted straight up the arm rather than into the springs.
