Default best drop (distance) in your opinions???

I'm hell bent to drop my truck, just not sure how low I want to go. Not to low, however I do want to get rid of the 4x4 look. I like the look of a 2/4 on the NBS trucks, loved it on mine, however I know it will take much more than 2/4 to get the same look from a NNBS... what do you guys think? kits, brands and pics would kick ***!!!

I HATE how high mine is... my 01 had 2" drop shackles and looked damn good, the 2/4 was perfect... this thing looks like a monster truck or something. I was ok with it for a while, but its starting to eat at me now...

my truck at 4/7 still fits 285/45/22 which is a 32" tall tire.

Just for reference, the NBS trucks beside mine have 2/4's and are about at the same height as mine as 4/7.

I pulled up next to my old 73 F-250 one time which had 2" lift springs, and my truck still was a touch higher. Plus one time I saw a guy with a 5-7 drop on his NNBS ex cab, and I looked to lifted by comparison.

I don't I would ever go back to a older truck for working, becouse I love the extra deep bed. I can put ladders under my deep tool box something the older ones could not do, and if I space it up 2" I can stack 2 ladders under the box.
