Re: ? about lowering
Just by looking at the bottom pic you may be able to bring the front down 1 to 2 inches without mods. I wouldn't recommend cutting the springs. Can't really tell on the back. I think most guys that run 20's or such have to cut fender wheels out and notch the frame quite a bit. Maybe of of those guys will chime in. You might be able to jack the rear end up a bit without the bed lifting to much and see how much travel you have between your tires to the fender wheels and rear end to give you a better idea on the back.

Re: ? about lowering
65', I'm running 295/40/20 on the front and 295/45/20 out back, I was able to go a 3.5 /5 drop on mine, no CNotch, just spindles and spring up front and springs out back.
do rear clear the fenderlip? you might need to trim, to tuck. same question for the front, hard to tell by the angle of the pic.

Re: ? about lowering
im runnin 22's with bags but you look like you should go with 2.5" drop spindles and three inch drop springs in back and you should be able to still drive the spindles r about $300 and the springs are for the rear are $120, but you should go with spindles so you keep your tires from wearing on the sides fast but if you really want to do something get a dropmember front system and kp components rear system and lay that thing on the ground man on big wheels thats bad, later man but measure the distance between your front tire and fenderwell that should tell you a number of what you can go with before you start running into fender. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1200072126

Re: ? about lowering
if you want to cut them, not recommended, i think every half coil you cut off is about an inch of drop.
