On my truck I tried to take the budget approach to get it as low as I could without buying anything other than standard lowering parts (springs, drop spindles, blocks). In the front I sectioned the crossmember 1.5". Any more than that and you are going to have to upgrade your steering (think rack and pinion). For the rear, I z-ed the frame just behind the cab so I could still use the factory rear suspension. Of course, this required raising the bed floor to accommodate, but you will need to modify the bed floor if you want to get anywhere near laying frame. I also dropped the body 1", which did require cutting a small hole in the cab floor. All in, I am at a 8/10 drop static. If I bagged my truck I miiight be able to lay frame. It's going to take a lot of figuring and creativity to lay frame without the help of aftermarket goodies, but I think it can be done.
