I have a 83 2wd truck
In the junkyard there is a s10 with the air bag valves, bags, and tank
I have 2 compressors off my dads car so i could make a kit.

My question is... hjow low can i without making a 4 link and not cutting wheel wells up front.
I am new to this but i read through alt of ranger bagged stuff tonight and i see that ill need drop beams, someone has a set for sale for my 1st gen on the classifieds :)
Do i need shocks too?
And im a good welder and fabricator so i can weld on mounts.

How low can i make the truck without wheel well mods up front and no 4 link, plus i would also like to not do a crazy large frame notch in the back
plus i dont want to move the gas tank

could i go this low?

That being while dropped.
 
the biggest part of your problem will be the front mounts. the easiest will be making bag mounts for the radius arms instead of the normal coil spring placement. shocks you can run them if you want I never did and only problem was kinda bouncy at interstate speeds. the back is easy you can notch it to the bottom of bed floor or just buy a bolt in notch that only notches half of the frame. you can run a axle flip kit and block and just run one leaf spring per side. known as a mono leaf setup.
Yes you will be close if not lower than the pic you posted.
