I say you get the McG 4/5 drop as DJM does not make one.
Or you can get 4" Belltech stuff up front and 5" stuff out back.

If anyone has some pics of 26's drop with a 2/3 and 3/5 it would help me dearly to make my decision...I know the lower the better but it is my everyday driver plus I tow a 3seater jetski and 21ft boat every so often..Thanks

I say both of you'll get 2/3 drops since you both plan on running 26s.
Ask DJMDIRECT, the Belltech/DJM seller on here how much it will run you from him shipped to you'll.

i would do front drop struts and rear djm 4 inch kit and your done.

a 2/3 or 2/4 with 26s would be nice. The one thing with the belltech rear springs it can be a 3 or 4 inch drop. belltech front drop struts and rear 3 or 4 inch springs would give a nice ride also. I just dont like using drop springs with stock struts on the 07 ups seem to tare thru the stock shocks fast due to shaft going so much farther into the shock.

doing spindles is a option also but the belltech drop struts i feel make the truck handle better then throwing spindles on it.

Handle better but rougher im guessing..With spindles can i still keep some of the smoothness...

the belltech drop struts ride better than stock thats why I like them better than spindles for the price. Valving is better.

But if you want to go 3 inches or more spindles with drop struts ride better than spindles with drop springs on stock struts.

Old thread, but I didn't want to start a new one for a simple question.

I'm weighing my options on a 2/4 and I'm curious to why the BellTech drop strut with the stock spring is recommended over the drop spring and upgraded strut in the front, handling-wise. Is the ride really that bad with the drop spring?
