So like the title says if money was not a issue (not saying its not lol) what would be the best set up we can put on the truck for the 2-3/4 drop?

Im looking for something that is as good as stock or even better. The reason I ask is im going to be putting on 28s when its lowered and I know that the 28s is going to be affect the ride so im trying to compensate with the best set up i can get.. I am going to be ordering next friday... I plan on going with tony's kit but is that the best kit available and is there anything else I need to add/change to make it any better?

Truck is a 2012 and has about 26k miles if that changes anything

Thanks fellas !!

on the kit you listed only thing I would add is the rear djm endlinks and bumpstops (thats if you cut the bracket off the frame since you will need new bumpstops)

Not many options on the spindles...

Either Beltech or McGaughys.....

May lose a wee bit of turning radius with either.

Tony s kit is straight for Autoride.

Depends on how mechanically inclined you are. Putting on spindles is pretty easy, even easier if you have the right tools. The springs in the back should take like 20 minutes. If someone who had never worked on a car before would do this job, I would say a 5-6. If you have wrenched before, a 2-3 at most.
