Alright so just so I am understanding it correctly, if I were to get a 2/4 kit, with the rear being a flip kit, I can adjust it up or down from the initial 4" depending on where I put the bolts for the leafs correct?

Also where would you guys reccomend getting a 2/4 kit from? Is one better than another?

-that is correct. flip kit will be 4'' or lower if you want, from where you are at now.
as for the drop kit, just look around. ebay, google shopping, autoanything.com, summitracing.com, moes prolly. basically anyplace that would sell them. IMO i think they're all the same. i have a DJM kit, but there's others like Mcgaughy's, Ground Force ect. ect. it depends on how much you wanna spend. it obviously would cost more to get drop spindles up front instead of springs though

Shoot, I got a "heinz 57" lowering kit. It's comprised of "western chassis" springs, Belltech shocks, Nitro Drop shocks, and a Western Chassis flip kit.

N I thought I bought a DJM..........hmm. Well I know who I bought through, so if it wasn't for the free shocks they sent with my order, I would've sent it all back. I paid for the Nitro Drop shocks, got those. I also got the Belltech shocks those were.........FREE!

Default Sweet!

That is a very nice looking truck. It has the stance I am looking for. I have a short list of things I want to do when I get back, but the list seems to be growing.

Its not slammed and it appears to still have a little rake to it which is what I like, and with it slightly taller that the one in the pic I should still have enough clearance to head up camping as well..... Now, what all do I need to give my truck that stance?[/quote]

jay i alway under stood mcgaughys was the only way to drop a 4x4. using the drop spindle up front. that is the kit i used on my 05 4x4. ebay has them for 560 ish. you are not supposed to go lower than 2/4 on a 4 wheel dr. it will mess it up
