The stance of a vehicle makes or breaks it; I'd rather be low and rolling on stocks than have nice billets that look totally out of place.

X3000 on Drop first

a NNBS really swallows up a big rim.. 22's might be too small.. I'd get a 24 IMO
but I have seen some NNBS's that sit perfect with a 20 or 22 so it really depends on the stance.

So it looks like it's the drop first. Now I have to decide which drop? I know I want a 4/6 but crap this modding thing has me doing more research than homework

I recommend the DJM 4/6 kit. that is what I used. It rides really nice IMO. Not far off the stock ride since it retains all the stock springs. If you go with a 4/6 I would say get some alignment cams. I didn't, and my truck aligned close to spec, but it still scrubs off tires a little quicker.

i would agree with a 4/6 but i think you should just bag it & lay rockers
