    I have a 2015 DC with tuff country 4” lift, 33” Falken AT3s and “stock” 20” wheels. I’ll add a pic of current look.
    If you look at my post history I still have that bad shock lol. I’ve also got a bad wheel that throws off everything and is destroying my tires.
    I’m looking at fixing these suspension/wheel issues all at once. I don’t think swapping suspension now and wheels/tires in the following 6 months would be okay due to shake from that bad wheel. Would it mess up replaced suspension or should I stick with replacing it all at once?
    I’m also curious if there’s better ways to go about getting what I need for what I’m trying to achieve. (I’m poor)
    This is what my plan is:
    2” drop kit from sos performance with front and rear bilsteins (to replace all current shocks)
    17” Black Rhino Arsenals (black and tan)
    33” Falken ATs again
    Do I need the drop kit to achieve a 2f/4r drop? My local shop said only shocks…
    I know it’s a big difference going from 4” lift to 2” drop but I want it for my dogs. Would those wheels/tires still work? I’m also very set on those particular wheels.

    sorry for so many questions I need to get this sorted out the most efficient and economical way. Thanks guys!

    Post a picture of your front lift setup from inside the wheel well behind your front tires to help us understand what you're trying to do. I think what you are asking is you want to lower it from where it sits now by 2"? So instead of a 4" lift you would have 2" of lift? Or are you asking to actually drop the truck 2" which would be 6" difference from where you are now?

    @reneaux im going for the latter, so a 2” drop from stock, totaling 6” from current height. I’m heading to work so later today I can grab some pictures of underneath/behind wheels

    No need for pictures, I am of no use for input on this one. But to answer your question, just shocks wont achieve what you are wanting to do.

    Try these links...Good luck!
