Exclamation Lowered fleetside long beds (pics please)

hey guys i wanna lower my truck with a static drop and the PO put front disc brakes on it and it appears to be about stock height , i just dont wanna lower it to much and make it rub over speed bumps or anything like that

so im thinkin about a 2 inch spring drop up front
and out back it has leaf springs so i can just do the front like a want and then custom make some shackles to lower the back a few inches


any input guys?
pics would be GREAT
