Lowering rear on 48 question

[buildinga55]

Does anyone have pictures of the rear stance on a 48-54 truck as low as you can go with stock springs? I was thinking a 3" block was about all you can do without needing to notch the frame. If you have any pictures please post and also the tire size. Thanks for your help.

This one was at a local show last year and I am pretty sure it has a stock drivetrain and suspension. I didn't look under it though.

Blocks aren't going to do you any good with the stock setup because the springs mount on top of the axle housing. Are you thinking about a flip?

My axle is already on top of the spring with a 10 bolt rear end. I am in the process of putting the truck together and looking at tire setups. I will probably need to get the tires on to determine the block size I need. I was just wonder about what the max was in case I need to get to that block size. I am guessing about 3" is the max, but just thought I would check.
