If you're willing to cut and weld, you could pancake the front crossmember about 1.5" and cut less off the spring - this would ride low but increase ground clearance.
My '61 Apache is 2" pancake, 2" spindles, and sits 5" off the ground. Yes, it's bagged, but when the novelty wears off, I'll go back to cut coils to maintain the ride height.

Right now I have 2 1/2 drop spindles, 2 inch drop springs., with CPP Tubular Control Arms.
Control arms have been on a few years, drop springs and drop spindles, have about 10 miles driven, since installed, prior to 2 years at paint shop
Truck will come home from painters next week
Tires are 245/45/18
I think that 1 more inch drop would look better.
