I have used pretty much everything out there and will say to stay away from any lowering spring on a full size truck..NOTHING is going to ride better than o.e.

-For a 2/4 I would use a 2" spindle up front and a 4" shackle hanger combo in the back

-You could also do a flip kit with a lift shackle if you ever plan on going lower in the future

-get a good set of shocks and a rear sway bar and you should be good to go..

I on the other hand would go 2' lower control arm and shackle/hanger or flip kit and lift shackle you should do a flip because you most likely will get an itch to go lower after awhile I did n now Im 4/7 as for shocks Im runnin belltech streets all way round and there ride is pretty smooth love mine

I have the Belltech shocks now, replaced the Bilstein when they had met their end after about a good 110k mi of usage. The Belltech I have hasn't gone bad yet, as I've only had them on for about 20k, but I am definitely switching back to Bilstein as soon as possible...if that tells you anything.
