Same here, 2/4 drop. I love it. No bottoming out and rides like a dream. I did the static springs only, adjustable pan hard bar and shocks drop kit from brothers trucks..

Pros of springs is lower costs and alignment can still be achieved with a 2/4 drop. Only con would be after 3” spring drops alignment is tough to achieve and changing to 5 lug and disks would cost more in the future.

Pros of spindals is you can change to 5 lug and disk brakes easily. Alignment will not be an issue at all. You can drop it lower easier in the future with springs easily.
No real cons.
