Default 4/6 Drag setup???

I'm going to drop my truck 4/6 and order some bogart wheels (15/10 or 12 rear and 15/4 front), but I have some questions.

What drop kit would be best? I gather from reading on here that McGaughty's and BellTech are most popular. I would prefer spindles or control arms to keep some of the ride quality. What do ya'll think?

I will end up with a flip kit on the rear, so which cal-tracks do I need to get?

I would prefer some shocks that are adjustable so that I can set them up for the track and return the settings for street driving. QA-1's seem like a quality product, but which one's do I get that will accomodate the drop?

Any suggestions are welcome, especially from those with experience. Actual Part #'s will help. Quality is the most important thing to me. I'm not entirely concerned about how much $$$ it will cost, but that it will work well and hold up.

Best setup is a Flip kit, spindles springs, QA1 shocks and caltracs(dirty30's old setup basically minus the DJM control arms).

However that's a quick way to blow $2000.

For the guys running 15" or 16" bogarts up front with a 4" drop...which drop kit are you using. I've been doing some research and it seems that some spindles require at least a 17" wheel and I've read too much "negative" (get it) about the DJM LCA's. I have no idea what to do. I've been talking to Bogart and they want me to take some measurements after I get the drop installed. The problem is I don't want to buy a drop kit and install it only to find out that it won't work with anything but 17" wheels. I know this can be done as I've seen others with similar set ups. I just need some feed back. Also...recommendations for shocks (front and back) would be appreciated. Does someone have part #'s for QA-1s that would work with this set up? Cost is not really a factor, I just want to make sure to get the right ****.
