Go ahead and put a bracket on bracket.....that will add some weight. I have removed weight and accomplished the same. Performance wise i think I have a advantage in the end.....plus my way don't cost anything

I'm not trying to get new shocks, I'm just looking into lowering springs. From the looks of it, I'm just going to keep my height as is, it's low enough, I'm a tall guy (6'3) lol.

Weight reduction and zero cost are positives, for sure. Removing weight on the rear increases front weight bias, though. A HUGE negative.
So do you go up in rear sway bar size or spring rate to compensate? Both cost money and add weight, BTW.
UE moves the whole PHB lower, lowering the roll center and CG and at a whopping 2lb weight penalty.
And none of this has anything to do with Bilstein shocks on lowering springs. Enthusiasts have been doing it for decades and the sun still rises in the east each day.
Is it the best? no. But it will serve you well for years to come.
