Re: How can I lower my truck and improve ride quality?
Shocks will be your #1 factor on ride quality, assuming all of your suspension hard parts are correct (i.e. lack of travel and bottoming out on frame). I personally am a huge fan of Bilstein shocks and is all I basically use, when I have that option. Another great way to go is something like Ride Tech adjustable shocks. This way you can tailor your ride, firm, soft or in between. Sure they cost much more but are nice to have a quality adjustable shock.
As for lowering, I am a huge fan of 2" CPP modular drop spindles with a 1" drop spring. This give a 3" drop front but still allows enough travel to not bottom out. Change the bump stop to a 3/4" style. Rear would likely need a 5" drop to get level. A combo of either springs or springs/blocks will work but to get travel, you're likely going to need to notch the frame. You will definitely want to do a shock relocation kit, so the rear shocks are more upright and work correctly. If you keep them laid over after a drop, you effectively make the useless. You'll also need an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the axle after the drop.
