Default 4x4 suspension drop?

What does it take to drop a 4x4 nnbs truck? I'm not up on suspension drops so what brand is good? I was thinking maybe a 2/4 drop.

I dropped mine... Spindles and Leaf Springs from McGaughy I did a 2/4 but the bump stops have to go. I only had a few inches of travel in the rear after the drop. I may still put a notch in mine and bring it down some more. The kit I got included everything needed. I ordered from the link below.

Ground Force makes a 2/4 drop kit for 4x4's...actually, they make two kits. They both use drop leafs and shocks in the rear...one uses drop coils up front, the other drop spindles.

I'm reading where people are mismatching different components from different kits because some brands had better components.

I did Mcgaugh's 2 " spindles and rear 2 "shackles and removed the rear spacer block.
Looks good, handles good, sits nice.
Took the 4x4 stickers off.
