Re: low as possible

get some drop spindles. Out back, shackles will have you cutting the bed support, but thats an option. you could also move the spring perches up on the frame, that's pretty easy if you have a shop. Finally, you could add a block if you already have a flip kit.

Trucks with the longer 56" springs will not require the bed support to be notched.
