Default RE: dropping an o7 ram???

I dropped my '07 2WD QCAB with a McGaughys kit I got from streetpros.com, it consists of 2in dropspindles and rear flip kit with longer shackles, wich gives you a 4in drop, so the rear actually looks lower, I still have to fix that, i installed lower springin thefront but didnt like the ride quality so i switched to originals (much better), so I'll just have to figure out a way to lift it 1 - 1.5 inat the rear, so it doesn't look like im carryin load.

Hope this is of some help

I have a western chassis kit with douche tech shocks works well forme although you may want a stiffer shock my rear bottoms out a bit on harsh bumps and serfaces.

i cant decide on dosetech shocks and there complet kit (only $378!) or if i shuold let slammed one put a kit together for me. i thought those shocks were supposed to be pretty damn stiff compared to other brands. wat else is stiff that can take the turns too?
