those trucks are sweet love the drops on them! @ 4/6 you guys scrapping the front crossmember on big dips in the road? my last truck did but i think the drop was like 5.5/7.5
last 04, i had to roll the rear fender lips and hack up the front some for clearance but i think it was do to the offset of the wheels
I'm running 275/40/20's all around. Lowered with Ridetech strong arms and coilovers up front and Ridetech 3-link wishbone with coilovers in the rear. Tires rub the front lower control arms on full lock turns b/c the strong arms don't have a provision for a steering stop.

man id love to go that low but the roads around here would wear that frame down lol
... without having to cut up the truck for clearance or giving up too much ride quality.
My suggestion was more focused on your objective, but with added regard to cost. You can go lower and achieve these things, but it'll cost several times more to do it correctly.

The beauty of spindles and an axle flip is that you can always go lower by adding to those parts (arms, coil overs, etc). Much lower than a 4"-5" rear drop will create the need to cut the rear frame for a C-Notch if you don't like bottoming out.
i dont mind a C notch i've notch a lot of my truck that i lowered im just not wanting to hack up the front fenders, im ok with rolling the rear lips but thats about all im willing to do
i have DJM lower arms and QA1 procoils for up front flip and c notch for the rear, not sure if im going to use the DJM arms tho
Mine has the oddball 16"+ (wheel) 2" drop McGaughy spindles that have the lower ball joint located on top of the LCA instead of inside to gain clearance with 16" wheels. The turning radius is larger than the 17+ spindles so u-turns suck but they're supposed to have a more neutral geometry. The bagged guys like them because they have less negative camber when laying frame.
