never planned on dropping my truck but my honda took a crap on me and i need SOMETHING low haha

1. will these drop blocks work? or is there another preferred brand?

2. adjusting the torsions... do i loosen this little guy until i get the desired drop?

3. preferred shocks? i read something about Doetsch Nitrogren Drop shocks being good, but second opinions are always nice.

4. removing bump stops? where are these and why remove them?

thanks and don't give me the "USE THE SEARCH BAR" b.s., i surely have been researching as much as i can.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. They are probably the best quality at the lowest price. Cheaper, you can go with Monroes made for an Isuzu or 80's full size Chevy truck. I say go quality though.
4. Look at your front suspension, at the top of the lower control arm. You'll see a rubber square cone like piece bolted to a bracket just over the lower control arm. That's your front bump stops. In the rear, they are held down by your u-bolts around your rear axle. You'll see them for sure when you go to install the blocks.
