Thanks bud.
Mines a hotchkis 2/4 supposedly. But one guy was thinking I had shackles also.
I was told it has drop leafs out back and springs up front. Rides like a** either way! Lol . Then it's got the hell wig upgraded front sway bar and added a sway bad to the back!

Why not just do a set of helper bags for towing and hauling? Keep it low and still do what you need...

I was thinking 2" spindles 1" coils in the front and the back go with 4" drop hangers and shackles.. Think that will be a good set up? I do not want my front tires to now in like they do now so will the 1" drop coils make the front tires now in at all with the spindles?

The bags are actually great! I have had them on several trucks both lifted and lowered and in every situation they have helped the ride and greatly increased the versatility of the truck.

Right now I drive a 2012 F350 for work and it weighs in around 10K with my tools loaded on it, the truck doesn't even sit on the overload leafs. I pull trailers, heavy, light etc and with a simple adjustment of the air pressure, the truck just sits level. Only way to fly IMO... The simple systems can be done for around $250 with good quality bags. Much easier to do than changing up a drop kit... And 22's can easily be ran with a 4/6 drop or more.
