ok guys, stereo **** i got... i know nothing about suspension shiit, so help a nicca out...

current tire is a 285/50/20

i would like to get the rear as close to tucking the rim as possible (remove ALL wheel well gap)

and the front to come down a few inches the front half of my truck is a normal 1500 truck/suv the back half is something special and no normal kits will work... can i use 2-3inch drop shackle in the rear, one made for a 1500? i dont tow anything, and my stereo takes up my cargo area, so i dont move heavy loads...

IMO - Get bags.

dont want to spend the money on bags, and dont want the maintenance that goes with them.

IMO - Get bags.

Why?

IMO i think people should try static before bags. jus to get the hang of drivin these beasts. i have a 5-8 drop on my ecsb for about 2 years now with minimal probelms... i love it. it rides nice and handles very well. now is your truck 4wd or 2wd?if its 2wd go to www.sporttruckdirect.com and look at western chassis. they have the best prices IMO and are equal or even superior to djm belltech etc. im about 70% sure the spindles are the same for the 2500 but i dont kno bout the springs. but a 4-6 should work well and a set of helper bags since its a burban. that will jus about tuck rims...

spindles will work up front, the front is the same as any 1500 truck. just the rear is different.

it is a 2wd

how would i get 6 in the rear? they dont make a flip kit that will work with the size of my axle...
