    Best way to drop my truck 2 -2

    I already have shackles in the rear. I am looking for the best way to drop my truck an additional 2 in the front and 2 more in rear. Suggestions?

    put a 4-6 on it....much easier than putting on the front hangers for the rear end

    yeah man the flip kit is real nice and allow for more clearance of towing.

    DJM makes a real nice kit for the 4/6

    McGaughey spindles up front and there is no logically good way for the rear.

    Any body running the drop rear leafs? I need to get a feel for how ruff they are/ Seems like anything would be better that the stock ones as they are made for towing.

    Any reason to go with the spindles over the drop control arms? Seems like the tubular lower arms would save me sone weight?/
