What kind of springs do you have in the truck? When it was lowered did you use springs and if so how did you do it, cut them, heat'em are buy lowered springs?
If you put heat to them are bought new lowered ones try putting some air lift bags inside them like me. My 71 has them in all 4 springs and my truck rides great. No c notch, I have the no limit shock relocator and track bar. My truck never bottoms out now.

Wheels.

I would go 18" are 20" tops.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
