I would like to go lower but want it to ride better than it does now. Id like about 4 or 5 front and a 6 or 7 rear. Id like something like the shockwave setup. Im at a 3/5 now and would like more. What could I expect to spend?
I have spindles and keys now so I could go down but my front end sucks already and the tb coils are good for .5 or so. I want to run a 275/45/20 on oem chevys and just tuck or sit ontop of the tire

I just finished installing a setup on my truck, gotta do the height sensors still.
Accuair air management with dual comps
Shockwave(black series) front and cool ride rear
I've got $3400 in it and kept my rear djm shocks and hardware kit, works great together

I wish I could contribute more, but I can say that for me the largest expense is the little odds and ends needed to secure everything nicely and make sure your system stays trouble free. Fittings, lines, grommets and brackets add up quickly.

You're gonna have to notch the frame a good 4-5 inches to tuck out back on that small of a tire which will require the cargo floor to be sectioned and welded higher or you can build a raised center section out of sheetmetal.

Front is pretty easy to do but difficult to do correctly especially if your truck is 4wd.

I'd budget a good $4k if you're doing most of the work yourself.
