Truck vs Suburban lowering springs

I am about to get back to my 64 Suburban project and I have decided to remove the air bags and go with a static suspension.

What springs are recommended for the Suburban? It seems like the 4" drop rear truck springs would make the suburban sit lower and possibly not ride as well.

Any advice for a 3/5 or 4/6 drop? I already have 2" drop spindles on the front.

I don't think a 4" rear drop would make it ride worse. I have 4" springs + 2" spacers but I made sure I had everything else clear and good shocks.

Just wondering how much difference the extra weight of the Suburban would make.

I may just put in 4" rear springs and see if I need to add any spacers once it's all together.
