Lowered 71 2wd. Advice

Hello guys, so I did a c notch because I was banging on the frame. I installed 5" drop coils in the rear and have a 2" block. It looks higher than it was??? I want to go lower. I thought 5" couls were the lowest I could buy. Should I hear them? Has anyone ever tried this? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I've thought about doing bags I'm just not there yet..
There is about a 3" difference from the front and rear. I would like to get to about a 1" difference.

Thanks

I wouldn't heat them, ECE has 6" drop rear coils for another inch. I have the 6" coils on my Blazer without the 2" blocks and I find the ride to be as good or better than stock.

How low is the front for you to have such a big difference? Do you have taller tires on the rear?

The front is 5". And yes I have a taller tire. I guess that's the problem.
I thought it would look good with a little taller tire but I guess not.
I'll probably try the 6"
