Yes, but, how low do you want to go? Do you want bags? Do you want a ride for comfort or for handling?
Point is, let us know what you want, then we can give recommendations

2 in the front and 3 in the back, I dont want to use bags. I want to keep the stock shocks. It has the optional firmer suspension on the fly. Thanks

For the front, do 2" drop coil springs. For the rear you could do adjustable shackles, rear leaf springs I would do personally, but I've only heard of 4" drops with those.
I'm going with a 2/4 drop, and I'm going with the Hotchkis kit very soon.

I have the Denali Pickup with 4 Wheel Steering and AWD, I found a kit thru Ground Force. It uses the torsion arm adjusters, new rear leafs and I few other goodies but it isn't on the market just yet. They told me it would be ready in July. Thank for the help

Go with hotchkis. I love their kit. It is very nice quality and awesome handling.

I have had the front coils and rear leafs with a 2/4 inch drop on my truck for months now. I would also strongly recommend going with new shocks, like the Edelbrock IAS shocks (which I have) and the Hotchkis sway front and rear sway bar kit (which I plan to get soon!). With all of these parts your truck will handle amazingly!

With just my springs and shocks I now can do 80+mph lane changes and emergency manuevers with complete confidence. High speed driving up to 110+ mph (the fastest I will go on my factory generals) is FAR more stable too.

Trust me, go Hotchkis all the way and you wont be unsatisfied. You have a nice truck so why not get it the best!

because the best to some ppl (not refering to anyone here in general) is saving 50 bucks on lame components, vs spending the dinero to go out and get it done right.

if ya cant afford to do it right the first time, better be able to afford doin it again .

My 1 wise saying this year...im pooped lol

I agree 100%! There is no point going cheaper on parts just to save $50, especially on a truck that you spend $25K+ on!

I almost installed a set of Doetsch tech shocks on my truck when I decided that for a little more cash I could get the edelbrocks. Not that there is anything wrong with the Doetsch techs, but I know how good the edelbrocks are supposed to be.
