looking for the biggest static drop i can get

I got a 97 f150 single cab short bed flair side truck that I got cheap off craigslist and looking to mess around with it. I am looking to see whats the biggest static drop I could get without sinking a small fortune into the truck. Any ideas? Ride quality nor practicality is not a concern. Thanks!

I have seen 5/7 drops before. But anything is possible! Maybe try posting this in the street scene area.

I'm pretty sure with a good fab resume behind you, and all the right parts, you can easily so a 6/8, if not 7/9 static drop.

but that would include tubbing the front, and cutting out the bed in the rear, and maybe a 4 link....

more like why not! its a beater pickup and i dont really plan on getting rid of it til it dies so why not have some fun with it. i am not going with some crazy wheel and tire combo so i dont think i will have to tub it out at all. i do know i will have to notch the rear frame though
