Default How low should I go?

Hey guys I used to have my truck droped 4/6 and had alot of problems with the DJM flip kit so I gave up and raised it back up and it is now a 2/2 drop and it is bugging me being back up in the air lol... My truck now has 22" KMC Rockstars and I'm having a hard time deciding on goin with a 3/4 drop or back to a 4/6 with better drop parts... What do guys think I should go with?

4/6 drop on factory 20s




2/2 drop on 22s



Thanks guys in advance!!
Drew

My truck also is a torsion bar truck up front but I have upper and lower control arms for the front so no problems there, but Im goin to scrap the djm flip kit and have to either buy hanger for the 4" in the rear or a new flip kit for 6"... What brand of drop parts do you guys use?
