Lowering an '08 Chevy 4wd crew cab
Has anybody used the Reklez kit? I'd really like a 4-6 drop but should probly settle with a 3-5 after everything I'm reading. I've never owned a 4wd but I like my trucks low so...what problems am I going to run into with the shafts? What kits has everybody used? And please post your pictures. Thanks fellas

AWD here, im sitting on a 4.5 front and 8 in the rear on helper bags.
Ive never used the Reklez kit, i have zero experience with it and never heard anyone use it on a 4wd. If im correct, the actual REKLEZ front control arms are shorter, in order to allow the front wheels to fully rotate while running/tucking big wheels. I have always imagined getting the Tuk N Turn arms from them, and just using NBS front axles, which are shorter than the NNBS axles, but i just havent really justified 900 dollars for control arms.
My truck currently sits on DJM modified front control arms with 0 camber, and adjustable front shocks, in the rear its just a flip kit with helper bags and no notch.
Im looking at bagging my truck soon, and running the Reklez or Chassis Fab rear air suspension kit. Theyre pretty much identical.
For the front, im gonna be modifying the oil pan and the brackets that hold the front diff, in order to scoot the diff up a couple inches in order to get maybe 7 inches of drop in the front. Worst case ill have to notch my front frame a little, as long as i dont end up having to modify my trans tunnel.
I know these arent your goals, im just sharing for anyone else who might be reading.
