so I have this 96 Chevy 1500 Silverado. The first thing I wanted to do is lower the truck about 2 maybe 3 inches lower. I need help finding the correct lowering kit. I rather not do coilovers as I still want to be comfortable driving this truck on weekends. I believe the truck bed size is 78 inches? Or does that matter.

I also have a 96, it’s just a 2500. My advice is to just spend the money on a Belltech or DJM kit. I went with a 2/4 drop kit from EBay and the rear gave me a pain in the ass because the bolt holes didn’t line up for the front leaf spring mounts. For the rear you can get 2” of drop with just some shackles, if I recall that would make the truck sit leveled. Personally I would like for a 2/4 kit that had adjustable shackle heights so you can have 1” of play height in the rear( either 1” higher or lower). I didn’t want to do a 4/6 or 5/7 because in my opinion that’s lower than I wanted. The 2/4 gives it a good sporty look.
