Your stock tires are basically 33's, which is way too big. I had 275/55/20's (32in tires) on a 2/4 drop and my front tires rubbed at full lock on a older body style truck.

I'd go less of a drop to avoid headaches. Plus it will cost you less and you won't have to cut your brand new frame to install a C-notch. But this is just my opinion here, no way I'd spend huge dollars on 26in rims, that's $4,000 that could be spend elsewhere.
you think I could do it with 24s?

That's all up to you man. I was just saying that large rims will run very small sidewall tires, which means they will be more prone to tire/rim damage.

You will have to decide on how you want the truck to look and handle as well make it fit your budget if you have one.

You can do it with 26s but I mean your tire is going to be non-existent. Best bet is to run 24s yes
