I am going to drive it alot so I want the best ride I can get
Here is what I am planning:
Front
3" drop spindles
2" Drop Springs
Shocks
Anything else needed for the front?

Rear
Flip kit 5"
Shackles 2"
Shocks
anything else needed or is there a different route(besides air)?

What brand and do I need to notch the rear?
