I need help!

I have a 68 GMC with leaf springs. I'm doing a complete resto and as of right now it's in a rolling chassis stage. I have ECE 4" drop leafs and drop shackles in the rear. I plan on installing a rear gas tank. How much lower will the frame drop after I install the tank, bed and cab? If my calcs are correct as it sits now it wont be low enough for me. Thanks for your help.

If you don't think it will be low enough.....then you are probably onto something lol. How low do you want it to be?

I want the tires to barley tuck under the fenders. I'm going to be installing 20" centerline smoothie wheels.
