the rear seems to be 2" higher than the front. most people drop 2 more inches in the rear. 4/6 3/5
this gives you the level look.

I have not seen any 2 in spindles for the front. 2.5 in only. I don't think a 2.5/4 drop would be level. To get mine looking even front and rear it took a 3.5 in drop in front and 5 in drop in the rear.
