Well if it was up to me i would lower it this much: But it all depends what you want to do with it. Rule of thumb - the lower you drop it the more things you would have to change.

I don't have a way to post pics yet,but I have 2.5 drop spindles and 3" drop in the rear.It gives it a slight rake.I have 255/60 and 275/60 with no rubbing or hitting.

That's a cool truck to do that to. Should be sweet when you are finished it.

Doc, my vote is 4/6. Low enough to look killer, but not so much it's a pain to drive. I would recommend 2.5 spindles + 1 coil off the stock front springs & air bags in place of the rear coils (so if you load up the family [think Griswalds/Family Vacation] you can adjust the height for the extra cargo). Don't forget a front sway bar w/urethane bushings.

I wouldn't with anything too radical. Probably a 2/4 or a 4/6. This way you can get away with minor mods to the 'burb. (c notch for the 4/6)
