I like the 3" drop control arm's. You're paying $360 for em' anyway. Set it on the ground WITHOUT bag's!

alright first thing remove the front bump stops and remove the steel cups. i have to use a a grinder and a sir chisle. it took little time and my HOA loved me and my neighbor doing this at 1030 at night. you can get some trimmable bumpstops at advance for chep and cut them to 1 5/8s. i rode around for a long time with out bumpstops and never "botommed out" but i did destroy my wheel liners. if you dont remove or replace the bumpstops your truck may be riding on the frame causing the wheel to be on angel, mine was. i wore out the inside of my front tires in a matter of months.

With your spring drop I would suspect you are sitting on your front OEM bumps already. I recommend removing the OEM cups even on a stock height 2wd, The OEM suspension just doesn't have any travel. Without bumps you may rub the inner fender liner on full compression. I use a polyurethane cut to 1-5/8". Apparently I can't post pictures so I can't show you my setup. To get the alignment done use adjusters, you will need to two kits. If you want to bag it then I would focus on doing that and not get distracted with doing another drop. Fully lay'd out will require extensive frame fabrication both front and rear. Good luck and post pictures if you can..

Not really, but I've massaged mine so much it has stuck with me. Takes time to work out all the little bugs at each level. One of the reasons I hate dropping again. But will probably go another inch. Been working on an idea using Aeon spring to replace the rear bumps. If these work it may eliminate the need to notch when using a full 4-1/2" drop. Plus helper bags won't be needed to tow. I'll post up later on how it goes.

This would increase load by 1320 pounds and not raise the static height. I have 1 inch bumps on it now so these are actually shorter under full compression. Don'y need air or anything as these a completely passive.
