I looked at my truck and seems like axles and diff are gonna be my two main problems but the axles I can see easily and it seems like I can just cut above them and clear but I cant see above the diff easily I will just have to take out the springs and use the engine hoist like you said

Since I had such a lack of information here ill just keep updating what ill do for anyone who does this in the future but I think im gonna have good wheel fitment measured the fender to the ground and its 33.5 inches (bad suspension might be lowering this) so if I take out 20 inches for the wheel, 10 inches for the tires (5 inch walls), and ~2.5 inches for a drop then that will leave me with like a 1 inch gap in between the tire and fender which im happy with 
might go with 18 inch wheels too not sure yet
