I would like a smooth ride with a little rake to the back for towing my boat.
well if you only want a 2/2 drop then i would do belltech front drop struts and rear shackles. that will drop the front 2 inches (or 1 inch if you want) and rear shackles will do 2 inches.

Total for that kit is $300 shipped. If you wanted to add in new belltech street performance shocks it would be $430 shipped.

If you see it for cheaper shipped email me a link I will beat anyones prices

DJM 2/4 KIT will be fine. you have wheel hop becuase on the 4x4 the pinon angle isnt the greatest and on top of that they have a lifting block on top of the spring which leads to even more wheel hop.

Thanx for the info. How about removing the block to lower the back?

no your leaf springs are under the rear axle by adding blocks you lift the rear axle. running no block at all will set it the lowest.

the djm 4 inch rear kit actaully flips the leafs under the axle thats how you get the drop.

Looks like just the rear kit since the front is adjustable keys. Looks like a shock change to. Right now I have Edelbrock IAS for the FX4.
