I tried keeping the cost down as much as possible and wanted the flexibility to adjust ride height, car cruise height, and cool factor height as much as possible. I originally wanted a static drop, but I figured with such good deals out there I'd be better off with bags and flexibiliity for just a little more money.

I ordered Boris' Paddle Valve Special with an upgraded compressor, along with his upper and lower plates/cups.

Then POL (PerformanceOnline) had everything else in stock and ready to ship, so I ordered.

2 1/2" Drop Spindles
Front and Rear Shock Relocators
and a Bolt-In C-Notch

So out of this, I am hoping to gain as much ride quality as possible, along with as much cool factor that may come with it. I am not looking to lay frame. I just wanted to get a good drop and good ride quality for what I have.

Oh, and BTW, as far as wheels and tires, I am running Boss 338's (Black Centers/Chrome Lips) in a staggered 20x10 rear and 18x8 front both wrapped in Toyo Proxes ST II's. It has been a little bit of a hassle getting the 338's on the truck, but it was finally accomplished (no fault of any vendors) just simple Murphy's Law stuff that got me going.....
Sounds good man! Sounds like me and you are about on the same page. I have the paddle valves, shock relocators, notch, and will get some drop spindles at some point. I really like those 338's too, I have read so many different opinions about the fit it makes my head spin. You have any pics?
