[Hammer]

2 in drop spindles and factory coils

but you could get a different spring rate if you bought aftermarket springs so that isn't totally true.

I would think the spindles and the coils

please explain? i understand the fact that aftermarket coils (like the 2 inch djms i got in there now) are stiffer so what do you mean it isnt totally true?

go with spindles and coils

[LayItLowS10]

i would def stay with the drop spindles, stock coils, i think hammer meant something like eibach coils, not just drop coils

Yeah spindles and coils. Thats what I got on order for the X 2" Belltech spindles and 1.3" Eibach springs. With 3" Belltech leafs out back + 1" or 2" blocks rounded out with some Edelbrock IAS shocks and some 18" Boyds with some BFG g-force TA's :firedevil

if you want it to handle make sure you have a good set of drop shocks to. a stiffer spring will cut down on body roll and will make the tires stick to the road a little better up to a point. you dont want to stiff or when you hit a bump the truck will bounce up and the tire will follow. but drop spindles will lower the truck (lower center of gravity) and will also help stop body roll plus you will have the full travel of the suspension which will help soak up the biger bumps while cornering. I think your best bet would be the spindles with a stiffer spring.
