Default need some advice on lowering a 97 f150

hey i was hoping someone could point me in the right direction regarding lowering my 97 f150 2wd. I just got a set of 22" rims and i'm trying to achive this look:




I want the edge of the rear rims to be slightly tucked in the wheelwells like the one in the picture, the ground clearance this guy has is about what im looking for. So my question is, will i be able to achive this with a 4/6" drop kit considering i have 22s? or should i go with a 5/8"? and if i need the 5/8 will it be drivable?

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: sorry if this is your truck, i dont know where i got this picture from but i like it. im not trying to copy you im just using it as an example.

That truck is bagged. a 5/7 drop should get you the tuck you want in the rear. A 4/6 even should.

That's Patrick's truck and it is bagged. You'll probably need a 5/7 to get that stance.
BTW welcome to the site.
