More interested in a good ride!
I have an 07 silvy classic rcsb with 20" gm wheels and 2" shackles in the rear. i am not satisfied with the ride height. i don't want to do anything drastic because i am very worried about my ride quality and durability. because i only have shackles in the rear, my stock ride quality is still there. i so afraid to put any 2/4 kit on because i dont want it to ride like a go cart. the lowest i want to go is 2 more inches front and back. Does anyone have a suggestion on the best path to take. should i go with spindles? control arms? springs?. keep in mind i only want 2" and a close to stock ride quality. let me know. also, should i do a 2/2 kit since i already have the 2" shackles in the rear or do i need a 2/4 to replace the others. thanks

Well I have a 2/4 drop on my truck right now. In the front have drop springs and in the back I have shackles and hangers, but if you want a better ride go with spindles up front and a quality set of shocks. I got edelbrocks on mine and like em.

whatever you do DONT get coils (springs) !!!!!!! that will definately worsen your ride quality!!!
this guy is sell his kit. you might want to take a look.

he says "the spindles will lower the front 3" ", but i thought they only made 2" spindles. i think he might have made a mistake.
