I'm Currently At A 4/8 But Want To Lower It 2" Up Front

I Have 2" Spindles 2" Springs
Wheels : 20x8 Front 255/35/20
Rear 275/35/20

How Can I Go Lower And Would I Need To Cut Anything Or Will There Be Any Rubbing ?

5" in the front is the lowest you can go without bagging it. You could cut a coil but I'd be afraid of dragging your front crossmember and not be able to get a good alignment

Think it looks right the way it is but I know they are never done. Any pics of the hood mod? Looks like a later hood grafted on and looks awesome. On a second look it would look better with just a little rake.

Yeah Was Thinking Just An 1" Would Be Fine

I think your truck looks great the way it is in my opinion. my truck sits with the front end down an the ass in the air. it drives me crazy. I liked the leveled look all the way around like you have.

The way your truck sits is nice. I would go 1 more inch in front at the most for a cool rake with 3" drop springs

I did a 6" front drop, with 2" spindles and 2" springs. I cut a coil from the springs, probably not the best method but it rode ok. If I were to do it again, I'd use bolt in coilovers. Or, you could go crazy and z the frame 2".
