Lowering Advice.
 
Hello all, I have a '85 c10 that I'm redoing,and decided to lower this truck,unlike all my others.
I was hoping someone could give me some lowering recommendations for this truck. I have never lowered any vehicles that I have owned,because I have always wanted the good ride.
This is what I have decided so far:
20x8 w/5"bs w/255/40/20 (front)
20x10 w/5 1/4 or 5" bs w/295/40/20
I would like to go either 5/7 or 6/8.

I would like to have a good ride and be able to tow my 18' bass boat,and maybe haul some small things in bed.
I would hope not to have any scrubbing up front(I'm sure everyone wants that)
Hope I'm not asking to much out of a lowered truck!
If anyone can recommend a good kit (front and rear) at a decent price.
Is this setup practical for what I want to do with the truck?

Thanks for your help.

5/7 drop c-notch but you will have some rubing in the front on the inner fenders
