Need some ideas about dropping suspension

Getting ready to start the build of a 70' C10. I'm working on replacing the front control arm bushings now and will move on to the springs and spindles next. I have an idea of going with 2.5" drop spindles and 4" rear springs. Not sure of the wheel size I'll end up with at this point, would like it lowered but not on the ground. Could I see some pictures and get any pointers on anyone with a similar drop?
Thanks folks for any help I can get.

Re: Need some ideas about dropping suspension

Oh btw: it's a 68' swb frame with a 73'-86' front suspension. I want this as a daily driver. i already have a 70' C20 cab and front fenders and hood, I'll be looking for a 70' or something short bed when that time comes.
