When fabbing your rear lower control arm mount bracket, you can loosen the pivot bolt and pivot the bracket so that it sits perpendicilar to the frame rail. (instead of a 35* angle).
This will make fabbing a bracket easier.
When all of the weight is on the suspension retorque the pivot nut.

With the truck back on the ground it puts the lower frame rail about 12" from the ground.(using 235/60/16 cop rims and tires)
It ends up being comfortably lowered. Speed bumps aren't threatening, it's not slammed.
With all the money you save you could install air ride shock waves afterward if you wanted to play.
