2/4 drop suggestions

I'm looking for a simple 2/4 inch drop to enhanse my 18's a little.

could anyong suggest the best brand?
and can I get a good ride with coils/shackles or should I spend more on spindles?
I will also will have edlebrock shocks so I want to do this right.
I can't go any lower due to roads up north..

thanks.

I guess I don't need "spindles" after all!

Hello, I have a Belltech 3/4 drop and I'm really happy with the kit! They also have a 2/4 kit available. I also got their Nitro Active shocks (their top of the line, firmer shock) and the rides still pretty good. Handling has also inproved too!

3/5 by western chassis rides nice, just a little stiffer, doesn't float at high speeds

I use ground force 3/4 and that is low as i want to go ''Its perfect MY opinion'' Any lower and you start getting alot of negitives, I drive my truck every day and the ride is pretty good this is my third lowered truck and this one rides the best. handling is outstanding for a truck. I used coils up front shackles and hangers in the back, and changed all the shocks which is a must I might add. I run 18's with 295/45/series tires thats alot of tire in there. Oh and a 6 degree shim to correct drive line angle this still needs alittle work at 55/60mph at full throttle you get a hint of a vibration so the angles close you really have to pay atention to feel it. hope this helps

Thumbs up BELLTECH

Definitly a nice ride after the install..corners alot better and feels more "car like"... its the 2/4 kit and the nitro active shocks ... 1k for the parts and to get them installed. I may suggest the 3/4 kit though...the front could use that extra inch to even it out perfectly. If you have a heavier hard bed cover like mine then you'll defintly want the 3/4 so that its nice and even front to back.
add some sway bars for some extra stiffness also
