Default 3/6 or 4/6 drop

Bought a 2005 silverado rcsb with a 5.3... going to run 22 inch ss replicas and ordered a 4/6 drop for it. It's not on yet but I'm beginning to think if the 4 inch on the front will be to much, it looks like my truck has a pretty good rake to it from the factory (it's all stock) and I just want it to sit level... I want the fenders just above the tires all the way around. So question is guys 3/6 or 4/6? Tires will be 285/35/22 all the way around.

Do you care about ride quality?

Heavy rims and rubber band tires won't like potholes and the ride will be poor.

The lower you go, the worse it might be.

I'd go 20's with a bigger sidewall and a 3/6 drop.

Well its not gonna be my daily so not terribly concerned about ride. Already have the wheels and tires anyway... I just don't know to go 3 inches or 4 inches in the front..
