Default Suspension Advice - Recommendations pls

I like the idea of an autocross set up. I already have the Eibach sways and wonder what the next and best step shud be? If u guys have recommendations I'd like to hear them. At this point I'm thinking shocks/springs along with 1/3 leveling (2/4 if I have to). I actually like the Eibach set up over Hotchkis unless someone can convince me otherwise.

You'll be real happy with the 2-4 drop. I did 3/4 keys and did a shackle and removed the rear block. Truck handles like a car now! How do you like the sways?

Sways were the best mod I did so far IMO. With the 305's I car do hiway off/on ramps at 60+mph...I figure once I do the shocks and level it shud be even better. I like the 2/4 look, but I want to keep clearance to drive deep snow and smooth ride. I might just do keys, coils and shocks...look at the link on my sig for pix. R/

I think Im still plenty good for going through the snow, unless we have another storm this year where it dumps 4 ft. again LoL. Its still higher than a car as far as ground clearance goes.
