Default bring em' out!

i'm still trying to decide wat lowering kit to go with. 3/5 drop or a 4/6. i dont want the truck to be slammed too much but i want it to get rid of the big space i have between my fender and the tire. To help me decide i'd greatly appreciate it if yall could post up yalls truck pics with the lowering kit yall have and tire size. Thanks

Heres a pic of the truck as it sits:

For daily driving, I would run a 3/5. But you may hit the bump stops in the rear a lot. I ran a 4/6 and had to notch the frame b/c it was sitting on the frame. I currently have a 5/8 drop with 255/35-20 and 295/40-20.

If you don't mind notching the frame 4/6 is a great option. My current setup is McGaughy's 2" spindles and McGaughy's 2" coils upfront and a DJM flip kit int the rear. I am also using AirLift Slam Aim bags for when I want to use my truck as a truck. I have DJM Calmax shocks all around but need to get something better because it is my daily driver and they don't give a very good ride. For tires I have 275/45/20 Falken ZIEX S/TZ-04's all around.
