im wanting to lower the front end of my 00 silverado should i put lowering springs or drop spindels and which has the better ride . i have 22 inch rims on it

Spindles!

Ok is it goin to be a little better on ride quality vs. springs

Yes, what is your plan for the rear? Anytime you alter the stock geometries and heights the ride will suffer, but your doing right by using spindles...

I have an extended cab. I had helper springs on it took them off and added 2 - 3 inch lowering shackles I'm thinking I'll need an axle flip kit so my leaf springs are below the axle Cuz I'm wanting to lower the back some more. Because my drive shaft can only be pulled out so far right it's already pulled out from putting the shackles on so what u think

Well jus remember, and im speaking from very much experience, you seem to be worried about ride quality(who isnt). You flip those springs and the ride will still be pretty good with that spindle up front so long as you get some appropriate shocks. But your going to lose travel! 4-6 kit on my ext cab came with bumps stops and a baby frame notch. Lets jus say i bottomed out so much i was pretty much forced to bag it... Which i did! Now i never did really take the time to get my shocks perfect either... I ordered some djm drops shocks but i still felt they were too long. The point im getting at is be careful about how low you go bc that ride will suffer at some point... I personally think that spindle in the front and 3" shackle in the rear (2/3 drop) looks great and still leaves the truck usable. Of course its your ride, ill give u tips either way... Let us know how you decide to go and take pics for your blog.

OH!!! And before you do anything. Get an angle finder and write down your pinions angles now! This will keep you from the guessing game when you start having vibes due to poor pinion angles!

thats another thing im thought about baggin it but i have no clue on how to even start that from people tellin me baggin is a sh**ty way i dont no thats why im wanting everyones opinion.what do u mean '"pinions angles"' not sure what that is.was baggin it a hard process because i dont like other people doin stuff to my ride i usually do it myself.. and if you could give me every bit of advice that would be very helpful

Pinion angles are the angles on the joints from the rear axle to the driveshaft to the transmission. When a vehicle suspension is altered, these angles will change and it is necessary to use shims under the springs to cheat the system back in proper angles. Your will have harsh vibrations and damage the drivetrain if the angles are not corrected. And installing a full airbag system is not for the faint of heart. Took me nearly 2 weeks but i was working on it part time if you will. They have come along way with ease of installation however you will need to have a good grasp on wiring, welding(you can buy bolt on systems), the suspension itself and how it works, etc... Its a major install... I wouldnt recommend it if your are only considering it. There isnt much turning back from it as there will be significant frame "damage" in the installation process. I only recommend mild drops to people bc it maintains usability and rides the best while still have a slick lowered profile. 2-4 is most i suggest, 3-5 is possible but itll be stiff... After that your notching the frame!
