Default Best lowering kit for a 95' Z71?

So before my engine swap I want to get my suspension where I want it. I want to do a 2/4 drop and a complete polyurethane bushing kit. I plan to get some 05-06' 17'' OEM wheels to run for awhile.

Whats the best way to do a drop on a 4x4? Coils,shackles and hangers? what kind of shocks? Also who has the best bushing kit?

I want the 2/4 drop to be like it would on a 2wd truck.

Well you sure as hell wont be doing coils. Just flip the rear axle, do torsion keys and drop spindles (I'm not sure they make them for a GMT400 though, you're gonna have to look)

Yea, I don't guess 4x4's have the coils Would a flip kit not be to much in the rear?

Can I get a 2'' drop with just keys in the front? My plan is to have a drop similar to a 2-4 on a 2wd truck. I'm thinking shackles/hangers for the rear.
