I think it'll be a lot of work to lower that big truck, even if you know how to do it all yourself.
I'd definently go w an airdam, but you REALLY NEED BAD to put an aero bubble on the front of that box. If you want to retain those running lights up there also, that makes the bubble smaller and more likely to be a custom job.
Find whoever makes those bubbles, get some basic measurements in order. For this small an app., you may have to build it yourself.

I'm thinking if you can contact a trailer manufacturor like Wells Fargo, or even some travel trailer factories, they might be able to hook you up.

Immediately; massive height wise skirts for under the sides of the box come to mind; you need to cut off all that open space.

I don't know how far or often you plan on driving w this rig; but it would seem that a diesel PU of some kind would be much more mpg. efficient!!???/
