I have 3" Belltech springs/coils and the ride is horrible. They do have alot of miles on them but I will be replacing them as soon as I get around to it. Go w/ DJM spindles IMO, NOT Belltech.
Word on the Coils. They ride pretty stiff, although I am running on 35 series tires, so there isn't much to gain back as far as ride goes... it's simply all about the road conditions.
and DJM doesnt make spindles for the NBS, only control arms. You can always get the Super ride 3" kit from Western Chasis that has lifetime guarantee 2" LCA's and a 1" coil.

if you do the 2/4, do spindles in the front. because your not changing your suspension, its just moving your wheel up 2 inches. do the 285/35 d=29.85 or the 265/40 d=30.35. if u do the 265/35 d=29.3 with a 2/4 your tire diameter will look to small. i have two friends with 2/4 drops and they both have 285/35 22s and no problems. i have a 2/4 with 275/45 20s d=29.74 and i have no problems. and all three of us took out our rear helper springs so were more like a 2/5.
p/s and u would probably only have to worry about the left side(the stupid chevy lean :bowtie: ).
Good tire advise, I'd do the 265/40/22 on a 2/4.... but you are wrong about the Chevy Lean. It does lean to the left, although the rear axle is closer to the right side of the truck, so the Fender on the right side is more likely to rub as the left side would more than likely tuck.
