suspension ?????????

I installed a Belltech flipkit in my 80 fleetside shorty on the weekend. It already had the Belltech drop rear leaf shackles. Should I go back to a stock rear hanger to start??? It now sits about 2 " too low. My question is how many spring leafs are in a stock rear leaf? I only have 2 leafs now. Should I add 1 more? I have Belltech nitro drop shocks but one is just about bottomed out so I think I will go with a stiffer shock. Any suggestions on shocks??? I did not do the frame notch as of yet. I actually feel pretty good about doing it myself as I am 59 yrs old boys, no air tools, no lifts, no fancy workshop.

Rick
