Lowering block question?

I need help with the size of the lowering block I should use. I will be installing 2 1/2 drop spindles with air bags in the front. In the rear I have put a large c notch and will also be using bags with the original trailing arms. How do you know what size block to use? I would like for the truck to lay as low as possible with this set up. If it makes a difference I plan on using firestone bags. 2600's in front,2500's in the rear.

Thanks for the help,

Pete

3 inch block with the right step notch will lat the driveshaft xmember on the ground before arms hit the frame. Thats with the 2500 bag.

My notch is eight inchs, is that big enough? Would that work with the bags in the same spot as the coil springs or should they be relocated. With a block that big does it have to be shimed?
