Wow!

that looks awesome!! how much you going to z the frame? i am thinking about doing mine 3 inches at the end of this summer. (got to wait for after heatwave) that way the front bumper should sit about 2 - 2.5 inches off the ground fully aired out.

Do the old school body drop and hack a 1/2 inch or so outta your cab mounts, that should get it closer to the ground, you should have a few sets of those within reach right. I think we should bodydrop either yours or mine, i think a dropped crossmember and bodydrop would be sweet, tell the guys your just running 3" drop springs and it sits 1/2" off the ground.

So thats, 3" drop spindles
2" drop crossmember
2.5" bodydrop

7.5" of drop without affecting suspension. Not bad. Youd have to raise the bedfloor anyways to get room for your differential, we could channel it like old school too, none of this stock floor new stuff.
