Default 03 ecsb lowering advice thinking of 3/6 best ride?

Ok so I have had several lowered trucks in the past and my most recents were a 07 nnbs ecsb lowered 4/6 with DJM on 22" escalades(these nnbs trucks sit so high the 4/6 was not that aggresive of a drop) and a 01 rcsb lowered 2/4 with a beltech on 20" yukons. I now have a 03 ecsb that I am looking to lower. I dont want the truck to be slammed but I want it to sit right. I already have a set of 20" polished yukon wheels with factory sized tires 275/55/20 but I am looking to replace them with 275/45/20 at the same time that I lower it. for the 3/6 I would use drop springs front and djm flip kit for the rear. I like the slammed look but want to keep it semi conservative since I will be dailying it and letting the wife drive it occasionally.

-My main question is what is the best 3" spring setup for the front, there are several different brands but I want the best ride.

-I am looking at the DJM rear flip kit, do I need anything to relocate the carrier bearing or will that kit come with it? How hard is the flip kit and c-notch to install, I have never done either.

thanks in advance for the help

I'm going to bump this thread because I just picked up an 02 Sierra RCSB and I'm in the same boat. I want a nice stance but I want it to still be practical and not ride like crap as its my daily.

I ride 3/6 and dd it no problems. My hitch will scrape now and then no big deal. Im running all belltech stuff, good quality. Installing the components is not hard, but correct tools is crucial. The most demanding part is the notch install for me. The flip itself took all of 1 hr by myself.

Can I buy a 3/6 as a kit or is it something I have piece together?
