dropping the rear another 2"

I want the rear of my 78 down another 1-2". It already has shackles and hangers, the overload and one normal sping removed from a 8 spring pack. Is there anything else avalible? A flip kit is way too much drop, and new springs are only custom as far as I know and around $300 or more.

if you already have shackles and hangars, you should be down 4", if you want another 2" why not take those back out and use a 6" flip kit...that sounds like the only option you have unless you want to sell out the dough for leafs.
