Default Need help on 06 SSS lowering kit. Ideas please?

Hey guys on a 2006 Silverado SS Earnhardt edition 2wd. What is the best way to lower it more then 2" and not effect the Camber to much and still be driveable.

Drop spindels and de-crank the stock keys or get 2500HD keys (purple keys) to go lower and still be able to align.

I have a 3/4 ish drop.

djm upper and lower control arms imo, i did the mcgaughy's spindle for 17"+ rims for my 4x4 and i don't really care for them, i lost a lot of turning radius and at full lock the front tires scrub hard, alignment is good when they point forward, but that's it. i know the 06's weren't awd but they use the same front torsion bar suspension, and i know that the spindles for 16" rims are better but, they relocate the lower ball joint to above the lca, but the torsion bar lca's ball joint is pressed in not bolt on, so it might not lower you as much.

You will be fine whit just drop spindels and purple keys, the only reason i can see the DJM lca come into play is if you ever go 6" drop in the rear. I can de-crank my keys and sit on my tires (overall same height as stock)
