JusJay... didnt mean to offend your lowered truck... to each their own. Guess I should have said they dont really have a good "TYPE" not brand. I'm sure Belltech, Mcgaughy's, etc are very reputable brands. I did do a little research (As you kindly instructed above) and from what I can see, Belltech and Mcgaughy's offers pretty much exactly what I mentioned above.... Drop spindles and "lowering springs". Seems like this would put your lower control arm at a pretty wild angle. And the drop spindles would change your load points and angles of your front suspension. It seems like it would be taking more of the weight off the springs and putting it in the upper arm.

Look up pictures online of both types. It's a personal preference and how deep your pockets are. Find out what you like and run with it, don't worry about what people think.
