If you already owned it, you could mount the suspension, jack up the crossmember until the LCA's are level with the ground, then jack up the frame until you reach the desired ride height to see how much lower you need to mount the crossmember.
Just make sure you don't get projectitis, cause you're the only guy on earth who wants a lifted C4 Chevy truck...so you better finish it!

Good info! Not interested in reinventing the wheel or the frame
If it requires any more than an upper coilover mount mod. I won't be doing it. I need avoid getting stuck in project purgatory. Truck is my good weather driver, need to complete it by mid February or I will lose the whole year of driving it. This is stance on truck. Original rear springs have settled. Newer springs in front. Front could be lowered several inches.
