Drop Shackle ?
 
With the tires i have i want a 3" drop in the rear im doing a 5" drop in the front. My ? is whats the best way to get 3" drop i want to just get shackle but all i can find is 2". I dont want to notch the frame ive never swaped hangers but 4" drop is to low so im kinda lossed. I dont want to take my leaf springs apart.

If this is a 4WD, stop now and look for a 2WD. Too much steering stuff to mess with.

Two options to consider. Either you can relocate the stock hanger and run the shackles, or run the shackles and pull the overload. I am not that familiar with Burbs, so you will need to confirm which option will best suit your needs.
