Default extreme lowering.

I want to do the 6-8 lowering on my NNBS RCSB. Its that goldish color if that helps.

Should I do 3 inch DJM arms, 2 inch spindle, and 1 inch on the Belltech drop shock?

Or

4 inchs on DJM arms, 2 inch spindle, and Belltechs shock all around to firm up ride?

I also want to avoid drilling the spindles to flip the tie rods so I may try the spacers and heim joints.

The rear I am making my own flip kit, shortening my driveshaft 1 inch, drop shackle, and maybe a block to trim height if I need too.

My wife has quit hearing voices saying I need a quad cab or tahoe becouse of the soon to be kid, and now 2 dogs.

I've told her no new furniture till I get my parts in the house becouse we supposedly need a new couch and an coffee table which we currently do not own. Or I will carry on like Hitler for months, and run up the card on a air system or some other extremely large purchase. So I think she got the message.

Wish me luck.

I'd go 3" control arms, 2" spindles, and the belltech adj. struts. That way you can fine tune it to the exact height you want. With 4" arms and 2" spindles, you're stuck with that drop

on my truck i did 4" arms, 2" spindle and flip, shackle, block, notch,

on my brothers we did 3" arms, 2" spindle, belltech struts on the lowest setting, and same as mine for the back, so take your pic, they both ride awesome and look nasty, the air dam is like 1 1/2" off the ground.

Thanks guys

I think I'll try the 3 inch arms and drop strut to tune. Now I'll finish argueing before I end up with more furniture.
