I got a Dura Blue. I like it went on great no snags, or missing parts. It did help the handling, I can run more preload now without it feeling tippy in the corners. I haven't done much in the way of jumps but so far so good.
If your not living on the edge, your just taking up room.

The Durablue lowering kit is a set of brackets that changes the location of the upper shock mount. If you move the shock mount up, the quad sits lower. They're about $100 new.
They are NOT recommended for jumping. You're probably safe with a few feet of air, or more if you have a very soft landing, but I wouldn't trust them to a full-on MX race. They are more geared towards flattrack racing, where you want to lower the center of gravity and increase stability, but you don't have any high-impact landings to deal with.
Durablue also makes a rear lowering kit. It's a different design, it works by changing some dimensions in the rear swingarm linkage (specifically, it replaced the dogbone), but the end result is much the same. It lowers the rear of the quad, not recommended for jumping or high-impact suspension travel (like major whoops).

I would go with one of these kits before I did the dura blue. They look stronger to me.
