Spent a bit of time looking awhile back but still searching for the company that makes a great lowering kit for my truck. I don't want anything extreme at all, I just want it to sit square and I was told by one company that they can't lower the rear of my long box because the hangers are welded to the frame. It has hot rivets like everything else...
Anyone make a great kit for these trucks that I am missing? I haven't looked very hard yet at all but the searching I did was frustrating me.

99 nbs? Everyone makes kits...how low you wanna go? Yoou can do shackles in the bacl for 2" drop, or add hangers for another 2" drop...or just do a flip kit. Up front you could do spindles, springs, etc
Belltech, djm, there are a ton of companies. Look up stylintrucks.com

Sorry, yes 99 silverado rclb. Looked a little again after posting this and I keep seeing lots of stuff for short box trucks but nothing that jumps out at me as exactly what I need for a long box with out piecing it together (even then?).
Looking for maybe 4" rear and 2" front, doesn't need to drag the curbs but just want it to have a nice square stance and ride well.
****Just got off the phone with DJM, thanks for the tip. Mike is a great down to earth guy, hilarious, he said that spindle drops for these trucks are a conspiracy against the american public!!!
He said there are a few different rear axle front hangers for GM and I just need to pick out the ones I have from three different photos. Otherwise he recommended a 2/4 with Spindles up front and hangers/shackles in the rear. Looks like the way to go. I had called McGaughey's months back and they basically said, no we can't lower it because you have welded hangers...sorry.
