Thesuspensionsource is on the GMT900 section. Try asking there. But from what I hear spindles and a flip kit are the best for NNBS 4WD/AWD trucks to get you where you want. Measure first to see what it will take to level you out also.

Spindles typically require 17" or larger due to the size, but they keep everything where it is designed to be... As far as shocks, I have no idea but either will work if that's what they say.

As far as I know you don't have torsion keys... I think only up to 07 classic 4x4 did. The NNBS 1500HD and 2500HD do as well, but not the normal 1500. Front lowering will be done with spindles and drop struts or springs.

To get more than 3" in the rear you just do a flip kit. You don't need a c notch, you just make the bump stops shorter usually depending on which flip kit you go with.

Wheels on drop spindles, as previously mentioned, will have to be 17 or larger, and we have a 6 lug setup so it doesn't sound like those wheels will work. You really should post all of your questions in the GMT900 section, as I am the only one answering.
