Here's my truck. 97 Sierra 4.3L Vortec. All stock except 2" drop shackles. I want to go lower, thinking 3/4 but I want the tires right at the fenders, maybe slightly tucking so maybe 4/6? What are your thoughts?

If you want to get down to the top of the tires go with the 4/6 or more.
(if you go 3/4 you'll want to go lower anyways

)

Both of my 98's are 5/6...

Welcome fellow Kansan. I think a 3/4 or 2/4 would look great on that pickup.

2/4 and 3/4 pretty much don't look lowered IMO, they just look like what they should have from the factory. Its 5/6 or bust!
