Looking to replace my tired Leaf Springs. Since I will be replacing front and rear, figured it was a good time to drop her down a few inches (without cutting into my bed). Wanted to see what options you guys were running? See a few sets at a 3" drop like the POSIES SuperSlide Springs, but was hoping to maybe get a little further to the ground (5-6"?)! New rims and tires coming, and current stance is:

I used the Posie's rear springs along with the lowering shackles, and spring hangers from Mid-fifty.
To get the same amount of drop in the front you will probably have to go with a drop front axle along with the springs. Ride height with the posie's & Mid-fifty shackles. My truck has a chevy chevelle front frame clip.

This is the exact stance and drop I am looking for without swapping either of my axels out. So just the new front and rear springs and then add this kit in the rear?

Yes to the Mid-fifty kit for the rear.
For the front I THINK you will need a drop axle also.
Mid-fifty has a section in their catalog and also on the website that tells you what to do to get a certain amount of drop. If you have any questions, call them, they are very helpful.
And then there is the centering of the front wheels in the wheel opening. From the factory the front wheels sit back about an 1 1/2" from the center of the wheel opening. Mid-fifty sells springs that moves the axle forward but you will need the longer steering arm that they sell also. And you probably should replace the stock tie rod with the heavy duty one they sell while you're at it... its only money
Fronts are 225/55-17.....rears are 235/55-17.
