My '03 has the two inch drop springs up front and the 3" drop leafs. Rides pretty decent... but still bottoms. Can get the kit from Ground Force... the leafs just make it a more simple and less time consuming install.

 

2 by 4 DJM with LCA. Air lift air slam helper bags an back so you want bottom out. I am even using cheep toxic shocks and the ride is still great.

 

I'd go with a 2"-4" drop kit from DJM suspension. I have heard good things about them.

 

I just finished up my 2/4 mcgaughy's this weekend. It was a breeze if you have the right tools. ie....air compressor and an air chisle for the rivets the front spindles are a cake walk. The ride is perfect.

I had a problem with bottoming out on the rear also. I installed new nitrogen gas shocks this weekend. No more problem. I suggest anyone having a problem with a 4" drop try some good shocks before notching the frame. I personally got some kyb shocks and am quite happy with them. It is important to buy a dropped shock. The factory shocks just don't work well when compressed that much.

 

Make sure u get the shocks, i dont care what company or how much you drop ur truck, it still makes a diference. Also make sure u get an alingment afterword.

 

not trying to hijack the thread but who all has had to do the carrier bearing kits with their drops? if you did how much of a pain was it to do?

 

For A Factory Ride The Mcgaughy's Is The Way To Go, For Ultimate Handling Go With The Hotchkis Tvs Setup($$$) But Worth It. I Used The Bell Tech And Have Not Been That Happy With It. I'm Running The Rancho 9000 Adjustable Shocks All The Way Around And They Work Awesome, Just Need To Find The Right Length Ones For Your Drop.

 

Easy, take a couple measurement,cut the cross member off, drill two new holes, and put bolts in.

 

did you get front and rear? what were the part #'s to the shocks? where did you buy them from?
