Looks real good, alot better. I wouldn't go too low on the tire cause then you would get that gap back + your ride will only get worse (stiffer).

MONEY . Your truck looks perfect. I would NOT go any lower. Are those tires 275/55-20's?? They look fine but I think your truck would look even better with 285/50-20 tires.....if they don't rub!!

I used Belltech's leafs PN #5952. The ride isn't real bad, but it is nowhere near stock like when I had the flip kit on my 99 ECSB. I still have the stock shocks so maybe that's why it feels like it gallops(SP?) I took it down a crappy road and it almost felt like the drop you get when you drop the front with springs. No vibrations from the driveline whatsoever.

The wheel hop on a hard launch bothers me more than the stiffer ride.

I got about 3-4 inches I would guess. We were trying to make it bottom out by rocking it front to back and couldn't. I only got one "nub" on the bumpstop.

Not sure how much more you are going to get out of the front. My bro has 2" mcgaughy spindles on his VHO and belltech torsion keys and it is only about 3.5" total. It sits maybe a little lower than yours.
