Default Most affordable way to do Shelby drop?

Thanks!

Are there front end rebuild kits that have it included? I know CJ, for instance, has stock rebuilds.

Other than buying a drill bit, thats about it. If you can borrow one, then the only cost is time and maybe some hide. A realignment may be in order.

You can get the paper template. Just make sure it is to size.

daze has them for 11, and the specialty drill bit for 10, plus 4 shipping, so 25 bucks and you ahve a accurate durable, and resellable template that you can sell to me =D

You absolutely need to get the car realigned afterwards. Not maybe, not in a couple months, but immediately afterwards. Your toe and camber will be drastically off, enough to cause tire wear and erratic handling conditions.
