The 422's are great but a set of lowering bolts for the rear are dirt cheap and work good. Progressive kit for the front.

This is the cheapest lowering kit I have found, works on both front and rear. Only drawback to using this kit is you will need to carry a patch kit and air compressor wherever you go if you need to raise it. Watch out for potholes, they're pretty rough!

Yup, that's what I did also and when the stock shocks wear out then I'll get the 422's.
