Default Offset Bushings

I have an 02 4x4 that I'm gathering parts for a complete suspension rebuild and drop. 2" drop spindles with 2500 keys in the front and 2" shackles with the blocks removed in the back. I plan on replacing all bushings and ball joints when I install everything. Should I buy the offset bushings for the uca when I order all the parts or will standard bushings work for the amount of drop I will have. I want the truck to sit a little lower than a stock 2wd with a 2" shackle drop. Any prefrence on name brand ball joints and bushings? Looks like either AC Delco or MOOG.

I would go ahead and do the bushings.

You could also switch to coilovers for the front. Its a little more expensive than keys and spindles but rides a whole lot better. See the links in my sig for more details.

MOOG is the generally recommend brand.
