I still have brand new in box H&R Lowering Springs but I am really thinking about selling them and not putting them on your thoughts?

Thanks, I am about 99% sure I will do the hose mod on the rear with the stock springs because I dont want to roll fenders with the 17x11's. On the front I will install the H&R's, I did install new Poly Bumpstops when installing wheels

Is this recommended or I have read I could install H&R's on the rear also add Hose Mod and keep Isolator to bring the rear up a little more, what do you guys think?

with the H&Rs I don't think you'll rub. I'd just install them and rock it. I'd plan on getting a PHB though. Just to be sure it doesn't push the rear too far out of alignment. Cheap reassurance. I'd grab some new shocks while you're at it, KYBs are a nice and affordable option.
