Default Straight Froward Answer Needed

I have a 2007 Sierra 1500 Classic WT I'm sorry guys I know nothing about suspension and don't want to get hosed over.

I would like to get a 2/4 drop but if I don't feel like that's low enough I want to go with a 4/6 drop. What would be the best way to do this without rebuying parts encase I want to go down to a 4/6?

Spindles, Flip Kits, Shocks, Coilovers, Springs, Brackets, C Notch, Bags, Helper Bags, Cut Stock Springs, and etc there are a lot of options but half of the things I listed I'm not even 100% sure what they do.

I know there is a give and take in ride quality and price I would be going for the biggest bang for your buck option.

spindles and a flip kit will retain your factory ride. stay away from DJM products IMO. that's all I have to offer.

Alright thanks from what I understand a flip kit needs to have a C Notch so your frame doesn't bottom out correct? Or is that only with a 4/6 drop and not a 2/4?

flip kit will get you a 6" drop. shackle/hanger will give you 4". no such thing as having a drop that's adjustable for both unless you put it on bags. pick your poison.

2/4 you can do with front drop spindles and rear drop shackles and removing the factory block....

Is that a good set-up to later move to a 4/6 drop?

Ok so a flip kit for the rear and how would I get the 4" drop in the front than. Don't I also need new shocks for the rear and front if I want a 4/6 drop?

Depends on kit really, drop spindles can probably be retained and add drop springs, but as txsilverado is basically saying figure out if you want 2/4 or 4/6 and do it once!!!
