Mine is a franken 3/5 - 4/6. The "kits" out there are overpriced, I built mine using what a djm kit consists of for 1/3 the price.
I can't go any lower without having to do some serious work. It really needs coilovers and some rear frame work to be legit but it rides good for a dropped truck.

And wheel choice means everything when lowering, it determines the look, the ride, the turning and most importantly the amount of fender work, Which I did none of by the way :woott: :D
Also I feel like the djm kit does a decent job with alignment angles if you go with the 3/5 I don't have any issues with tire wear, pulling/wandering and I have not broken a CV yet. "Knock on wood".

I think your truck is so clean, I like how it has factory lml wheels just a very clean look..if I had my truck still and could do it over I would go that route, would of been cheaper and looked better..

Offset plays a huge role. I don't know what everyone's obsession is with ridiculously negative offset wheels. I fit 305's with zero trimming on a 3/5 drop. They are only 20x9.5 but you literally can't tell the difference between them and a 20x10. Offset is around +24 but with the adaptors they are around +0. I very much enjoy my paint so I didn't want 3/4 of the tire sticking out of the wheel well, mine sit completely flush.
