I did my SWB with ECE and a 2-1/2 drop up front with spindles and a 4-inch drop out back with springs (coils). Now that my truck is apart, I'm thinking no time like the present to drop it another inch on all 4 corners. Any more than that out back, and it becomes an issue for the driveshaft as it is situated in the crossmember. ECE makes/sells a replacement cross member if you are serious about a 6-inch drop in the rear (with the coil-springs).

I recommend ECE with no reservations. They are good folks and easy to talk to when you have questions.
