Re: How low can you go ??
My daily-driver '77 C10 (basically same suspension) is 3.25" at the bottom of the front control arms. 3" BellTech spindles, and cut 1-ton coils. Tires taller than 245/60R15 will need the inner fenders altered. I can make it over any speed bumps, but have snagged header collector flanges on occasion.
If you're willing to cut and weld, you could pancake the front crossmember about 1.5" and cut less off the spring - this would ride low but increase ground clearance.
My '61 Apache is 2" pancake, 2" spindles, and sits 5" off the ground. Yes, it's bagged, but when the novelty wears off, I'll go back to cut coils to maintain the ride height.
