Will have some bearing on how you lower it. You should still be able to get the camber in spec with 4" spring, and 2 1/2" spindle on top of that would get you 6.5". But I would consider doing the spindle with a 2" spring which would get you 4.5" with NO alignment issues and plenty of room for tire.
