HeavyD... Springs only up front. Springs, an adjustable panhard, and shock relocaters on the rear. Koni shocks (that are getting a little tired after 7 years). The tires on the truck are 275/60's on 8" mags. I did the alignment myself. I'm satisfied with the ride, and there is no abnormal tire wear. I don't think anything more than a 2" front spring drop is practical, but 5" is no big deal in the rear. Get some good shocks they're worth the extra bucks. If you don't have a swaybar. They are cheap at the boneyard, and easy to install. J
