Aw shucks, thanks
@CalSgt!
@KennedyHill if you're wanting something mild, a 2" rear shackle will get the truck pretty level with the front. You'll have to trim the bed support for the shackle to clear but it's pretty simple. That with a 245/60/15 and 275/60/15 tire combo on the stock rallies or steelies, or even a 255/60/15 all around, that is a pretty traditional squarebody look. However, don't be surprised if you want more haha. Here's a picture that shows you what roughly 2" in the rear looks like, I believe he's just on stock 235/75/15s.

A 4" rear drop is honestly more of a pain than it's worth. The rear would end up lower than the front and the only good way to do that is moving your stock spring hangers which involved knocking out rivets. Since you'd then have to do something up front, you might as well do your standard 4/6 drop. That is the standard of the squarebody world lol. Tire size then just depends on what wheels you wanna run. This is my truck when I first bought it with 2.5" spindles, 1 coil cut on big block springs, rear flip kit (6") and 245/40/20 and 275/45/20s.

Same setup, just stock 8" rallies with 235/75/15s. Really liked this setup, but wasn't low enough for me and it scrubbed like a MF'r on the inner fenders. Really needed more like a 245/60/15 in the front.

And then now, I'm roughly 5 or 5.5" up front (I've never measured, I just kept trimming the springs till I was happy) with the same 2.5" spindles and stock half-ton springs trimmed (went back to half ton springs when I did the LS swap, the big block springs were too stiff). The rear is the same 6" flip but now paired with a 2" drop shackle for around 8". So I'm 5/8ish now with 20x8 and 20x10.5s with a 255/40/20 and 315/35/20 tire. I do have SloshTubz up front now which were a life saver.
