Default New to lowering trucks, Help Please

Hey everyone, So i have just got my hands on a 07 STX 2wd and im looking into lowering her front and rear with performance in mind. Now i am new to these types of suspension mods, (i usually go up, not down. haha) and I have been looking around online and there are so many different ways to go about it so i guess what my question would be is just what do you guys recommend? Any suggestions would be would be great!

This is my 04 STX With a 4/7

I used the DJM 6 inch flip kit with factory hangers and shackles in the rear with beltech street performance shocks and energy suspension 1/4 inch bump stops, no notch. Rides fine hardly bottoms out, and if it doesn't it's not bad at all.

I am running the western chassis 3 inch coils in the front and they ended up giving 4 inches of drop, they ride Great and I was able to align it back to factory specs

I would suggest 3/5 or 4/7 depending on how low you want to go. If you have questions go here and ask Tony.
