Can't use lowering blocks because the springs are on top of the differential.

The only other way is to get a flip kit which would require a notch kit for the frame.

I'm thinking of making my own lowering shackles. I lowered it 1 1/2 to 2" by removing the leaves from the bottom, but would like to lower just a tad more- maybe another 1 1/2 inches.
