Daily driver build

[bMr]

Greetings all, long time lurker here and I'd very much appreciate some advice as I plan to return a '72 C10 to daily driving, but with some modifications. As you can tell from the picture below it is an unmolested LWB, it also has the original 350, with ps, pb, and a/c.



The goal is to create a reliable, amenable, comfortable, fun to drive truck that can still tow 6k lbs while lowered on 20's. My main question at this point relates to the suspension and what system to use to lower the truck while maintaining towing capacity. The truck has to be able to tow, with aplomb, a 5k lb car and trailer combination. Can a 4/4 static drop suspension accomplish this?

For you folks running drop coils in the rear of any height and without a notch, what kind of axle clearance do you have?

The easy installation and low-maintenance nature of drop coils and spindles is appealing, and the cost savings over an air system isn't insignificant either, but I want to make sure the truck can still be used as one. Thanks!
