I used DJM LEVEL ONE kit. 2 inch lower A arms and 4 inch shackle and hanger, and carrier bearing relocater bracket. I put toxic shock on. Thay are ok for the price, and a little cheeper than DJM shocks. I also put Air Ride Air Slam bags on the back with an on baord air compressor so I can put up to 1600 pound in the back and still level the truck out. Out of the four lowerd truck I have owned this one rides the best by far. Its better than the factory ride to me.

Hotchkis - 2" Front coils and 4" Leafs.
Very high quality product.

Depends on what you want. Do you want a slammed look or do you want better handling? I'd say DJM for just dropping it, and Hotchkis for better handling.
I have the fully Hotchkis 2/4 drop, sway bars and Edelbrock IAS shocks and the handling is excellent. The sway bars almost completely get rid of the leaning when taking corners. I love it
