Default Lower me This

Ok here is the deal ..
i bought dirty dog 6 24"s and i so want to mount them .. but i want to do that when i have the perfect lowering kit .. i want to go with 4/7 unless someone can propose something better. Ive been browsing and searching the forums for pictures and thoughts of those who installed their drops but i cant make up my mind on which brand to go with and where to get it from.

my options are in the poll format and i hope someone can tell me the pros and cons of different kits ..

I have the McGaughy's kit, and I would suggest you purchase something else. The front coils have continued to "settle" to a point the truck is not able to be aligned. I would suggest Belltech, which you did not list as an option.

Edit: I'm sure the reason you are not getting more responses is because this has been discussed lots of times, search is your friend.

i have the mcg kit also on my truck and its not the greatest quality. like was said here you cant align the front end without extra parts and i have a long bed which i believe the frame is taller so only about an inch between the frame and axle with no warning of this from the manufacturer. bump stops ftw
