Yeah, I want to do spindles on the front for another inch or two but I'm not sure what to do about the back since I do tow my 18' trailer and race car quite a bit. I'm not sure how to come down another couple of inches and keep the towing up to snuff.

Are you lowered any yet? If not, you could go with the 2" spindles, and out back belltech makes a flipkit for 4-5" just set it for 4" drop and get some helper bags for when you load it down with weight that what you have a nice 2/4 stance and can still tow

I bought the truck used, but it sure seems lower than all the others I park next to so I'm thinking it has some kind of springs on the front and then I put shackles on the rear. I had figured helper bags would have to come into play eventually lol.

Helper bags are nice, i love mine. When i was lowered 4/6 i towed a boat and bed full of stuff, it pushed it down til i rested on frame then i just air em up until it sat level, and had no issues at all and the ride was pretty nice too considering the higher bag pressure and all the extra weight
