I believe the shock everyone uses for a 2/4 drop is a TS514 and a TS905, still check with some other guys but that is what I have saved in my book of things to order.

as for the springs being softer... I'm not sure, with my sway bars and BT springs and shocks its a pretty firm ride. I bought the truck set up like that so I dont have a stock comparison except the bighorn I rented and my truck was way stiffer than that truck but was also a RCSB vs a QCSB

Thanks for the info. I am getting pretty excited. It's going to be like Christmas once all these packages start arriving.

I saw on your build thread that you are going to replace your rear sway bar end links. Your current setup is using the ones that comes with the Belltech kit? What will you get? The Power dragons?

Those are the shocks I have on my truck with a 2/4 drop.

Think they will work with a 3/5 or run out of shock ? really it shouldn't move in the full scope of travel anymore than the 2/4 just curious

Yes they will, there's still plenty of compression in the shocks. You'll be hitting frame components before you run out of shock.
