I need help on what kind of setup I should do. I want my car slammed without having a crappy ride. Is it possible without bags? I was thinkin of using the djm 3" lowering control arms with the 2" spindles for the front, but I heard negative things about using 5 or 4" blocks for the rear. I dont know what to do

Do you ever plan on bagging it? If so, crank the torsions. If not, get the drop arms, they won't push your wheels out.
In the back, you can absolutely run a 4 or 5 inch block. Or a smaller block with leafs removed. Personally, I like leaving all the leafs, and doing a slightly larger block, because it still rides like stock. People often talk about axle torque, which is a concern, but does not put as much stress on a full leaf pack than it does a monoleaf. A 4" block and a full pack is safe than a 2" block with a monoleaf. But it will still create axle wrap. But there are simple and easy things you can do to prevent this. The best option is a simple torque arm attached to the axle and the frame somewhere. Basically a single 4-link bar, sometimes referred to as an anti-hop bar, but this is incorrect.
This is the best design for a torque arm. It is basically a "ladder bar" with a shackle at the frame mount, to allow the axle and driveshaft to plunge still without any binding.
This is the route I would go. It is best to keep ti near the center, but will still work just fine offset to one side, whatever works.
