Default SLP or McGauphy's lowering kits

I'm lowering the Denali and just wanting some opinions, Mgaughy's kit looks like spindles and I'm assuming shackles and hangers for a 3/4 drop

SLP uses springs and shackles for a 2/2 drop

My question is for the money which would be the better buy? Ride quality?

For what it's worth, I just installed a mcgaughys 2/4 drop on my truck and couldn't be happier with the ride quality. It rides and drives just like stock. Also I think you may run into alignment issues if you do springs in the front instead of spindles but I could be wrong.

Have any "before" & "after" pics? Are you still on stock shocks?
