Of course thats just my opinion so take it for whats its worth.
Actually, there are multiple advantages of running a C4 Dropmember... IF performance is what you have in mind, and IF it is within your budget... it's the best option out there (aside from a full custom chassis). The Dropmember C4's geometry is actually designed to give optimum performance on the C10 truck. The height of the drivetrain really has little impact (it's height difference is minimal) and when comparing center of gravitys and roll centers, it's miles beyond what can be achieved using any combination that keeps the factory crossmember.
