Crossmember is in. Still got some bracing to complete finish welding it to the unibody and upper link mounts but, for the most part it’s complete.

Ordered some rough country 4.5” leaf springs. Figured these will do because I’ll 4 link the rear here shortly.

We got the rear axle out today along with the rear quarter panel trimmed some more for a custom rear bumper. Can’t thank a buddy enough for coming down to lend a hand.

I like the height/looks when it is at the level of the top of the wheel/rim when mounted on your desired set of tires.
Your's looks to be about 2-3" above that 'top of the wheel/rim' height.

Probably just gonna go down to 23.5” or 24” frame height. Rather not ride on my bump stops all the time

I'm no engineer, but the tires will squish with when loaded and especially at low psi. That could easily bring you down an inch or two? I might be simplifying it too much, but I certainly don't think you'll be that high 'trail-ready'. Just my two-cents... which is worth only about two cents.
