Default 2011 GMC CCSB 2/4 drop

I'm looking into drops for my truck and would like some feedback on which kit to get. mcgaughys 2/4 is what i keep running into but there has to be more options out there. I will be running a 17" wheel tire combo. I want to be able to tow/haul if need be however it's very few and far between.

Thanks guys.

give more info. what does the 2/4 drop consist of?
ground force make good drop spindles. i went with belltech spindles which are good too. the flip kit i used was mcguaghys since it had a set pinion angle. the belltech and djm dont.
there are some with 4/7 drops that use helper bags and tow just fine.

nope, i just searched and i guess thats the only way to get 4" drop in the rear.
i have no experience with leaf springs but not many people use them.
but yeah the mcguaphys is your best bet.

for a 3/5 you have a couple options. 2'' spindles with either mcg coil relocators or belltech struts set at 1''. i wouldnt use 3" drop springs for the front.
the rear is a flip kit with lift hanger. i dont know what vendor here sells drop kits but if you google timssuspensiononline he has good prices. he even sells 2/5 kits.
i pieced my drop kit together with belltech and mcg components. i wanted the mcg flip kit since i didnt want to mess with pinion angles.

I don't wanna mess up my pinion angle. So the flipkit is my best option?
How does it affect your towing and hauling?
