I think part of the decision should be based on the roads in your area. There are spots around here that suck. I wouldn't want anything more than my 2/4.

I would say 2/4 thats what i will be going with on my daily driver. some guys like there daily drivers low and dont mind driving a slammed truck so its a good idea to start at 2/4 and you can always go alittle lower. good luck! take some pics after your drop and put them up.

yep. i have been on some shitty roads that make me feel like the truck is gonna come apart. the lower you go the more you are gonna feel.....i say 2/4 unless you are gonna bag or notch. the ride gets really rough after that
