Mike, don't let the roads sway your decision on how low you want to go. This suspension will handle anything you can throw at it. Going to and from TN a couple of weeks ago, the 2 trucks that ran with me had to slow down for RR X-ings and such. But Gringo's truck was driven like I was driving my 3/4 Ton Duramax, I didn't reduce my speed for any of those things and it handles it better than a new car/truck. The other 2 trucks are running a 4/6 drop and a 5/8 drop. The only thing that makes this level of lowness cause any problems is traversing into and out of steep driveways, and getting the back wheels off. I honestly think if the road is suitable for a Corvette or similar performance car, this suspension will handle it with ease.
Now, if your budget dictates that you don't want to go that low, I completely understand. There are a LOT of supporting mods for this look that cost a lot of both time and money.
