I personally won't be towing anything ever again with this truck, but good info for people who will. I have helper bags now, but will probably be sellin them as long as my c-notch takes care of the axle bump. I think I'm leaning toward drop springs just because I already have the hangers and shackles installed. I don't want to hunt down stock stuff, and seems like less work. Also, we are capable of correcting the pinion angle - if that's even gonna be an issue.

Now I just need to figure out the shock mounts... I have the electronic ride control from the factory and would like to keep it. I like pushing a button and firming up the suspension! No aftermarket shocks are available that I could find...

im at 4/6 with flip kit, no shims. but i have ecsb, so i have carrier bearing relocator to fix that. you could go with what you said though. of course they say with springs you lose some towing, but years ago i was 3/5 with coils upfront, shackles and leafs in rear. i have a friend selling a set of 3" drop leafs for 180 now. thats half of what they are new
