Re: how low can i go?

you can lower it as much as a truck with little 15's as long as you use the right rim and tire.

Not entirely true... depending on the size/height of your wheels and tires, you could run a 4.5/6 drop without being required to modify your frame and a-arms. Check out Early Classic Enterprises for some great parts and service. I'm planning on running a 4.5/6 on my truck with 20's.

You can also run bags and go lower, but will require a little more modification to your truck. Check out Suicide Doors and Air Ride Technologies for different bag setups. SD will offer great products at a lower price than ART.

I'd try to run some type of lowering spindle (2.5" drop) to help keep the factory specs on the front suspension.
