Changing springs is much more of a hassle than changing the knuckle. You also won’t be able to get anywhere near factory alignment specs with a drop spring, so you’ll have to do the offset upper control arm bushings.
completely false. I'm on a 4"F 5" rear drop, and just had to go back to a stock control arm bushing to get it out of positive camber. I'm on 2511s and coilovers, essentially making it a 2" suspension drop. A 2" drop does not require offset bushings.

@Roadrage I would do a 2" front spindle (2509 if memory serves), and a 4" rear drop spring. For a 4" rear drop, you'll need shock & control arm relocators to keep the geometry correct.

Here's some links, you'll need all 3, and I'd recommend adjustable control arms and trac-bar from APOC industries also.

A 2” drop spring absolutely does require control arm bushings, and they’ll tell you that. I’ve literally done it. Couldn’t get the truck past -1.8* of camber with a 2” drop spring. The 2” drop knuckle does not require control arm bushings and will align perfectly to factory specs.
