You can start off by lowering the rear by removing the 2 inch lift block between the springs and axle. That alone will make a huge differance in the stance. On the nbs you use to be able to just decrank your torsion bars to lower it, but on the 2008's Im assuming you would have to get lowering kit, as far as ride, taking the lift block out should if anything make it a little better giving you better handling, sorry I couldnt be more help, hopefully others will chime in here soon.

My suggestion is to just the level drop and see how you like it. If you're content and want a little more, instead of the 3/5 drop, try the 2/4 drop. I have the Belltech kit w/the nitrogen shocks as well and I'm digging the ride. Definitely a change. I'm also running with 20's. Along with the 2/4 drop kit consider the drive shaft alignment kit.. it will help reduce the amount of vibration from the drive shaft at higher ecelerations.
