Either cut 1-1/2 to 2 coils off the stock springs, or get drop coils as stated. To run drop spindles you want atleast 16" rims so as to not have any rubbing problems.

Thanks^^^ haven't had a brush up on spindles in a while. Lol. The ride does suffer a lot with cutting the coils. It's your choice. Comfort or looks, ain't my truck.

The ride is really not that bad if you have some good drop shocks. I cut 1-1/2 coils on my macrocab that I just got and I have some good shocks on there and I dont notice much difference from stock. Actually it feels much better, but thats because the shocks that were on it when I got it before I lowered it were done for and not even working. I think it feels better then my other truck that has 2" ChassisTech? drop coils. But this is just my opinion, so take it for what its worth

Would the truck sit level with a 2/4 drop?

So your going to cut 2 coils and install a 4 inch angled block? Or you going to remove middle leaf and add a 2 inch block?

Congrats on the promotion from newbie. Haven't seen em like that before. Mostly chrome or painted. A member has escalades painted pink. Also a member 4g63mightymax has a set of escalades too. I see a lot of local guys here with em on their Mazda and Nissan trucks. I guess to me it's kinda played out. But it's your truck. The oem rims painted black with the stainless ring, locally here is a negative.
