I am not sure why you would even want to do this...

Agreed, so you could cruise during a blizzard?

Well, never seen a lowered 4wd shortbed but would be an interesting project!

This is my truck that i just set a rim on to see how it looked, I like the look at stock height. Is the oil pan the only thing in the way of an inch or two drop? out of curiosity

You are limited up front by the axle under the engine. I would leave it be, at least the frame-down (has a certain value), and build off of an IFS truck frame. You want more like an X3 type of 4wd. I've seen some pretty hot 4wd Tahoes huggin' the road.
