What are the specs on your truck? Different trucks respond differently to different setups but if you're really looking for a "dropped" look then 2" shackles will hardly make a difference, just make it a little more level. I'm not even sure how you would lower the front 1", different springs maybe? Again expense and hassle for not much improvement. As far as brand, I prefer Belltech but you'll get a million different suggestions. It's just a preference thing. If you get a quality 2/4 kit it will look great and ride decent.
