Default 08 rcsb drop help

Ok so ive finally decided on dropping my truck. I want it to sit low but to where i still have some clearance to tow with tow bags to tow my boat. Opinions and recomendations. I was thinking 2" spindles in the front and 2" hangers in the back I already have the back lowered 3" . So that would make it a 2/5. I am running 275/55/20 and was wondering if the front will rub the inner fender. Any advice is appreciated. Also if anyone has what I need for sale let me know.

I know ive posted quite a few on my truck and lowering questions but I'm ready It needs to be lowered. I'm going to leave the drivetrain stock to keep warranty but i can go without the warranty on my suspension.

Thanks,
Nick

You can't shackle/hanger kits on the nnbs trucks, the front hangers are welded.

For 5 inches you need a flip kit and a new rear hanger or drop leafs.

My 275/55/20 rubbed a little, but I trimmed and it was fine with 5/7 drop

Damn those drops look good, but I don't think I have it in me do go through extensive
mods again. I'm thinking about leveling the rear with a 3 or 4 inch drop in the rear,
and getting some factory 20's.

Its not that extensive...the rear you just flip the leafs under the axle and the front is just swap spindles and add coils...all bolt on but it does take some time.

But you can just lower the rear 3" by adding shackles and removing the rear block, it will look much better without the rake. Get the belltech kit from www.stylintrucks.com, its about $65

The more I see that 2/4 drop, the more I think that I need my truck to look like that.

Are there any adverse effects of lowering it to this level? I don't want any issues, and
I want to do it right the first time.
