Default Lowering kit recommendations?

I dont know if anyone else out there has dropped their dually, but I'm really considering dropping mine. Not slamming it to the ground, but just lowering it, and maybe some bags. Does any one have any recommendations?

I have been thinking about the same thing with mine and was looking into doing trailing arms like the older 70's chevys ran and airbags.

order some 3 inch shorter springs for the front and take the 3 inch lift block our of the rear end. wham bam your truck sits 3 inches lower.

What tires are you running, and will they clear with your lowered stance? Lower aspect ratio will lower the truck as well, but open up space in the wheelwell around the tire. Obvious, but I figured I'd point it out, not sure what look your going after.

It's nothing big and off-roadish. Everything will clear as long as I don't lower more than 2 inches

Could do a shackle/hangar drop out back, spring under is gonna put the axle into the frame without a C notch..... I thought about lowering mine, but I'm pulling the driveline for a 02' chev dually instead.
