My next step would be spindles in front and block in the back to see where it winds up. Then look at dozens of pics of everyone else's truck to figure out what rear spring you might want to get. But 5" spring/ 2" block should let you get it down without having to c-notch.
Wheels are 20" x 10" wide I think. Tires are 275/40/20. I want to drop the front 45mm (1.7") and the rear 65mm(2.5") from it's current height. That will make the body level and sit just over the tires.....in theory. Have attached photos of springs, do they look like lowering spring? Sorry I have no idea what the factory height of the vehicle was just trying to narrow it all down before I go buy a kit.
