I vote 3/5.  You want to keep the body off the deck on bumpy roads.

2/4, i just installed a sweet set of long tubes and my 4/6 drop lets them drag so now i have to raise it back to 2/4 so it all depends on what you have hanging under the truck.

I'm pro low rider soooooooooooo, I'd say 6/7 or 6/8 just to give it a little rake. Theres quite a few combinations that you can do to get them low....and unless your roads are filled with potholes and stuff I'd have it hugging the ground

Well it all depends on the look your goin for and what size rim your runnin'.  My '86 short box is on 17" Torq thrust II 255/60 size tires, and it's goin to get lowered 2" on all 4 corners.  

The 81-87 C-10 is a fairly level truck (rear end is about 1/4" higher than the front end).  My taste is to keep the truck classic but with a modern twist.  Plus a 2" drop all around only costs about $185, and you don't need to buy shocks.

6/6 for a rake, but long tubes will be real close to the ground. I'm at 3/6 and need to put my 3" spindles on to get the 6/6. I will get to it one day.
