If your only going 4 in the rear I would not cut a coil with your current 2.5 spindle.
Or... clip a coil and go down 6 out back. 👀👀

This is what happened to me , the original plan was to just go spindles and 4" out back and I bought the 4" rear springs that Larry (GR8-68 ) changed out from his build to go to 6" Then after seeing the stance on his I had to switch gears again and go farther with my drop to match where he ended up . It's a never ending game of constant changes and more parts to get where you want to be . 
Larry if you read this you cost me a bucket full of money !
