I would suggest picking up a copy of Truckin magazine, lots of drops & sport truck stuff. Probably 20 or kits in there, just a guess.

DJM makes a kit and I think Air Ride makes one too.

Probably a c-notch in the rear then air bags and toxic shocks, then a 'porkchop' air over shock in the front

How low? I ahve a 2wd dually with a 6/8 drop lower control arms in front and a rear flip kit www.djmsuspension.com they also make a 3/5 kit also for a steel dump is mcgaughys they have them from a 2/4 to 3/5 www.mcgaughys.com For air kits it is basically air ride technologies www.ridetech.com or a build it yourself, or find a shop to do it that has their own set ups but for over the counter is air ride

I'm interested in this as well, but I'm concerned about bump steer. DJM makes a kit that uses a different lower control arm on the front, but it changes the relationship between the tie rod and the lower control arm creating bump steer. DJM has apparently realized this is a problem, because they've released a kit that flips the tie rod 180 degrees. I don't know if this completely cures the bump steer, although I imagine it cures some of it. I'm still researching this, anyone know more?

1sick57, I have the 6/8 djm kit on my rig for over 40k, if I were going to do this one again I would order the 3"lower and the mcgaughys drop spindle with the rear kit. I realy dont have a bad bump steer problem, but the lower ball joints wear out fast, tech at djm said 25-30k, but napa and oriellys have them its a moog part, I dont have the tierod flip on it neither, you have to drill out the spindle hole to flip it.
