How Low should I go on my 66??? 2/4", 3/5", 4/6"?

Good Afternoon!

My 66 is stock height and I recently put on a set of 15x7" chrome smoothies with 235-75-15 whitewalls. I love the look of the new wheels, but the truck is incredibly TOO TALL!!!

I plan to daily the truck, so don't want to go too extreme, just want a better stance and close the "tire to fender" cap in the front.

Was originally thinking a 2/4" drop as it is much cheaper being you can swap out springs front and rear with 2" and 4" coils and your done. All and all, not sure if it will give me the result look I'm looking for.

From my understanding, I can do a 3/5 drop under the same means as a 2/4 with just drop coils front and rear. I'm leaning more toward this amount of drop.

Lastly, the 4/6" is more drastic and more expensive. Aside from the money difference, I think a 4/6 might be too much for daily driving!

Also, with a 5" drop in the rear, is it a MUST to add a bolt in C-notch.

Couple pictures of the truck...

Let me know your opinions???
