Need some measurements from 2-4 drop SWB

Hello,

I am new here! I just picked up a 1980 short step and it needs some suspension help. I want to lower the truck but not to the point I can not use it as a truck or tow anything.

So here is my dilemma: I need to rebuild the front and rear suspension as everything is worn out except the rear leaf springs which are almost flat and the DS has a broken leaf. The fronts have old school coil spacers.-

I would like to do the drop when I rebuild things but want to understand my ride height first and not have to redo any of the work. I also would like to pick the right drop the first time.

Can some of you measure the height of your fender openings at the center of the wheel, tell me your drop and size of tires ( front and rear)? I can then estimate my ride height. I am leaning toward 2-4 with drop spindles, shackles and front leaf spring mounts all from Western

My C10 is the standard half ton not a Big 10.

Thanks in advance
