on my 01, it was a set of Steeda sport springs and a full C&L setup. On my 03 it was everything from my 01' (long list) and an IRS.

yeah... ask me how and I'll tell you... hehehehe

It's really quite simple but trust me that you don't really want it. I've had 2 and they're just too fragile unless you want to spend oodles of money making them tough.

For those that really care,
get an IRS with ABS sensors, cat back, and drive shaft. You need to make sure to get the springs, shocks, brake rotors, and rear upper cradle mounts (I have a set for sale if anyone needs them). You drop your live axle and cat back, pull the ABS sensors, quad shock brackets and shocks, all control arms, etc... then just bolt the IRS up, torque the bolts to 70lbs connect up the cat back, and you're done.

WARNING: the above is a VERY brief synopsis of the actual steps and is missing several minor details that you'll figure out on the way. In reality it takes 3-6 hours and you will NEED a friend to help you. You can reuse your existing calipers but the brake lines from the hard line to the caliper are IRS specific so you'll have to bleed the brakes no matter what.
