Default Help with gathering suspension drop parts

For my 04 GMC Sierra ECSB.

Right now I am sitting with stock everything, but Belltech 2" rear shackles. I am running on 17" Denali Wheels and Grabber UHP 275-55-17's. I am going with a 2/4 but I have never done anything other than shackles so I want to make sure I get what I need. Yes, I am uneducated when it comes to suspension mods so any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am wanting to get the Eibach front 2" coil springs.
Hangers for the rear can be whatever as long as they will mate up to the Belltech shackles.
What shocks. I have heard suggestions of Doest Tech (SP?), KYB, Bilsteins, etc..... Also, going with a different shock, do I need to get a different than stock length?
And the EC driveshaft carrier bearing. Figured it'd be best to have it on hand and if I don't need it, great.
Also will be getting shorter bumpstops. And if anyone has any online shops that you suggest buying stuff from, or used stuff, let me know.

Thanks

I went with Belltech 2" drop spindles. Keep stock ride pretty much that way. You can get Hangars from Summit too! Thay seem to have the best prices online.

I'm not sure if the extended cab is the same as the crew cab. If it is you can lower it 2 more inches in the back by removing the 2 inch lift blocks.



Hey trever1t
How much were the 2 inch drop spindles? I lowered the front of my 4 X 4 with lowering keys, I would like to get my suspension travel back to stock, but still have it lowered.

They were like $225? Look on Summit Racing's site. You will need 17" wheels minimum!
