You need to be more specific on what you plan to run. When you say "Pro Street", does that mean a narrowed rear with a 4 link? Are you considering a panhard bar or watts link? Coil overs, bags or leafs?

Help us so we can help you...:)

Here is my truck 6 years ago. It had just a flip kit in the rear and a 2" lowering spindle with (I think) a 2" lowering spring in the front. That was a 28 or 29" tall tire, 15x8 front, 15x10s rear. To get it slightly lower and sit real nice I would do a flip kit and remove the overload leaf in the rear. In the front I would do a 5" drop in the front. 3" lowering spindle? and a 2" spring.
