Re: suspension help
If you ever plan on hauling anything in the back, coilovers will kill that idea real fast. If you want to make your truck handle like a car, then coilovers are a sweet upgrade.
If you don't want to lower it too much, then spindles and a 4" spring will give you a good stance and keep a majority of you ride quality. Rear blocks are also an option for a little more drop without loosing ride.
