I am going through similar motions with my Big 10. It has 7 springs per side, don't need some... Removing the thickest and adding a 2" drop shackle should gain me about 3" of lowering. I think...
before I did a flip kit I had 2" drop shacles and 3 out who's know's how many and it gave me a just a little over a 3" drop in the back and a nice ride

same setup with a flipkit


there was no axle travel it might of been a better ride with shock extenders and a bigger notch
