Default New truck! Ideas and Suggestions needed.

Here it is! 2006 Sierra, ECSB with the 5.8' bed. Interestingly it has torsion bar front suspension, steering gear box, and blocks on the rear on the but it's 2wd. Plans so far are colormatched emblem, trim delete, silvy tails, painted handles, and street scene mirrors. I like the looks of it and think it will look good lowered. What are my options on a drop? Somewhere around a 3/4, 3/5, 4/6. Anyone with a similar truck have lowered pics? If so, tell me what size drop and tire size! Let me know what yall think!

Also, I'm looking for a set of either one of these wheels. If you are within a decent driving distance of North AL and have a set for sale let me know.

Nice truck man, love em with the 5'8 beds, you can do 2" spindles, lowering keys, or decrank the stocks for 3-4" drop up front, then get a flipkit and c-notch and pull the block for about 6" out back, the de-cladded 6 spoke 20"s would look great on it with a 275/45/20 tire. Id leave the side moldings and remove the badges for a clean look, the GMC mouldings would flow nicely with the wheels and chrome trim of the bumpers and handles

I saw some keys that advertised 3" drop. Is that true? How would it look with 3" in the front and shackles, hangers, and block removal on the back with a 275/50-55/20?
