dont think they make a spindle for my old truck lol i was thinking beltech torsion keys and a shakle and hanger kit and removeing the over load at the bottom of the spring . i dont have a block

GM-only

i dont think the overload will drop the back 4 inches. the rear 4 inch drop for a 2wd should work. i beleive its a flip kit and different hangers or shackles. torsion keys are the way to go upfront

Here is a 4wd I owend 4 years ago. I did need to notch the rear just 2" a mini notch came with the kit. 3/4 total still wasnt that low, and when i did have anything in the bed or hit hard bumps it would bottem out everytime. It was rolling on 24s. Who said anything was hitting the bed, that doesnt make any sence. Its not true.

My old 98 dd.

I clears, i did that over 4 years ago. I have no clue what he is talking about, that doesnt even happend with 2wds, hitting the bed? what is that. no no.

On all 4x4s the front IFS drivetrain sticks out 2 more inches on each side.

same size all around. btw. If i want to lower an obs truck and ride low just sell yours and get a 2wd or go with a 4x4 or a 2x4 2000 model plus there is nothing good with lowering a obs chevy, trust me i even custom bagged a 4x4 obs back 6 years ago and the sticky thread is still up on Fullsizechevy. Listen to me, been there done that. If you wanna go low 88-98 2wd is the only way. Or step up to a NBS 4x4 or 2x4 it makes your life so much easier.
