Default Drop kits

I have decided on a 2/4 for my truck.

Is there anyone on here that is a suspension dealer or know where the best place to order from.

I have been told my best bet would be DJM control arms and McGaughtys flip kit.

Is it true the flip kit helps maintain the correct pinion angle?

I currently am running factory 17's and want to close the gap in the fenderwells.
Especially when i switch from a 70 series tire to a 60 series.

I just put the Ground Force kit on my 2011 and am very happy with it. Everything bolts right on with no issues at all.

If your looking to close that fender gap I don't think a 2/4 is going to help you much, have you thought about a 3/5?

Give grunion customs a call, I bought all my stuff from them. They have awesome prices and free shipping on most stuff. Like slammed89swb said aswell, you may want to look into a 3/5 instead, I have a 2/4 and wish it was slightly lower.

But I don't wanna worry about speed bumbs or bottoming out.
I don't want it so low that I can't use my truck to tow or haul.
I really don't wanna put helperbags either.

I do all of the above with zero issues. I still use it as a truck. I did drop spindles, drop shackles, and drop leafs. Honestly it rides pretty much like stock.

I got all my stuff from grunion customs in AZ. When you call ask for Matt. He's a real cool guy. He'll take care of you.
