Ok so im looking to lower my ss its sitting at stock ride height with 22s wrapped in 285/45/22 tires. I wanted to do the belltech 2/2 drop kit with spindles and street performance shocks at first. I tow a Boat that weighs around 4,500 LBS when the boat is hooked up truck squats about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in the rear. has anyone towed somthing similar with that drop kit and 22s, would rear airbags be needed for that? or am I a better off just doing 1" up front with keys and 1" in rear with shackles and new shocks?

 

The truck up front has about 4" of clearance and in the rear has about 4&3/4" of clearance. any input and help would be much appreciated!

 

here is a pic of the truck how it sits now.

heres the thing with the belltech kit set up you can adjsut it from 1-2 inches in front and 1-2 inches in rear. I woudl do the spindels in front with the 2 inch shackles in rear and i can set you up with a shorter bumpstop in rear and you will be set to go. Ive done many like this over the past amost 13 years since i lowered my first sss
