I love the look of a lowered truck, but I couldn't go that low because I still tow a lot.. Here's a shot after I installed rear shackles and removed rear block.

I used the belltech kit...new drop spindles in the front, and shorter springs and shock extenders in the rear with shorter air ride sensor linkages...drives perfect...not sure how the truck guys are doing it...

for the front you can use either spindles or belltech adjustable struts for 2".

to get 3" in the back you need a 2" shackle and remove the block that is under the leaf springs

Mcgaughys makes spindles
and pretty much any shackle works.... belltech, groundforce etc.
