first thing i guess is the wheel/tire specs your running...whats the offset on your rims? what size tires..this is a big factor, when thinking about the 4/6 drop especially

if your unsure of the offset..another option is measuring the backspace of the rim..place a straightedge across the backside of the rim..lip to lip of rim, not tire buldge..and measure to the mounting surface..
Also..that tire size isnt 4/6 drop friendly at all..265/35 is the norm for 22's and that drop..
Best bet without any worries, in my opinion is aim for the 2/3 drop you mentioned..unless you want to get into buying new tires..and possibly rims.

alright sounds to complicated. ill just stick with the 2/3 drop. but i am having to get new tires soon. i could always change to a lower profile tire if there is one...

These are 22" wheels with 305/40 tires, with a 2/3 drop (spindle/coil)
The height should look about the same on your truck, I think its perfect for a daily driven vehicle. it can rub a bit, I think with 3/5 it would be even worse.
Sorry I don't have any better pics, this doesn't really show how low it is.
