I would do springs if you want to keep the drums. Thats how mine was dropped and still will be w/disc conversion. I think you can go to 3 inches w/ springs.

I don't think that they make drum drop spindles.... I may be wrong though.

IMO before you spend your money on an air ride kit. I would go with a set of drop spindles with a disc brake conversion kit. I think it is the best upgrade that I have done to my truck so far. Plus, you can get the 6 lug rotors like I did and still keep everything stock looking. You will need to change to something like 73 up 4x4 wheels though. The stock steel wheels won't fit over the rotor and caliper assembly. Tim Christian set me up with everything pretty cheap.
