I used front spindles to lower the front 2". I lowered the rear using shackles and hangers for a total drop of 2"/4".
The front geometry was terrible! I live in cleveland and the roads suck. The truck would crunch and squeal. I removed the kit and put it back at stock, 2 days later i pushed a ball joint through the control arm.
I liked the drop but could not deal with the ride is there someway to salvage a decent ride with a 2/4 drop? Should i have used springs as well as spindles?
