Welcome to the board!! I have a 3/5 drop on my truck with 22" wheels and didn't do any modifications. With and airbag suspension i think you just have to c-notch the frame to get it low but the guys on here with bags can help you more.

mxriderae, glad to have you apart of the board. You will be able to run a set of 20's with much modification, and a c-notch will not be required; it all depends on how low you want to go.

In terms of BS (backspacing), each truck is designed differently than another so be sure to measure once, and then measure 3 more times.

For instance, I could provide you BS for a 67-70, but the rearends are narrower than the 71-72 rearends. Depending on whether or not disc spindles were used, they may widen the front end trac. I would locate a reputable wheel shop, or a good buddy that has ordered wheels before, and make sure the measurements will work. No need to waste money on parts you can't run in the end.

Another note... I would lower the truck first and then order wheels. Just my $.02...
