Is my exhaust limiting my lowering capability? I want to do a 5/7 drop hopefully, but if my exhaust is a problem I'll have to get new exhaust and hold off on the drop.

it might be...just cut it off before the rearend and run turn downs. no problem at all after that

It "appears" the passanger side would be in the way. Like midwestcar, cut it off and slip on some turndowns.

I agree as stated above... plus you will get rid of the bailing wire.

Go as low as you want, I think it is time for a new exhaust system anyhow.

By the way, is your truck a 80 something stepside? I don't think I have seen a picture of it.

Yes, its a 83 Stepper with a very straight body, newer crate 350, and a lot more to come!

Here are a few pics of it:
