Default is this a good drop kit?

Belltech Sport Trucks 730 - Belltech Sport Trucks Lowering Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Im looking for a 2/4 drop, and im wondering if this looks like a good drop kit. I was quoted about $1300 locally, so this would seem like a bargain, the other one had drop spindles and no front shocks/springs, but had rear leaf springs (forgot the name of the kit).

So what am I better off with? Also will this take the sponginess off the suspension over speed bumps?

Looks like a pretty good deal, but you could easily save yourself a lot of that money by installing the majority of it yourself.

That kit is for your 09? If so, that will not work.

The link is for an old body style if you look at the applications it says 88-98 models
nnbs trucks have struts/coilovers
I would use belltech struts for 2" it's part 25003 iirc
for the back you can use a flip kit and lift hanger to get 5"
a 2/5 sits more leveled unless you want some rake then go 4" using hangers and drop leafs. But I've heard leafs are too soft.
