Default pros and cons of 6/9

What are the pros and cons of a 6/9 drop on a 2010 silverado single cab? Any problems iif its a daily? 265/35/R22 tires. Im thinking of doing 2 inch spindles and 4 inch control arms for the front.

That shouldnt be a problem. The new trucks sit really high stock so a 6/9 should still be very driveable.

I would try to stay away from control arms personally.
