Lowering the 72....

Ok, so maybe i have to many irons in the fire right now, but wanted to get some early advice on lowering my 72.

The front currently has 2 1/2 drop spindles. My plan is to add 1" MAYBE 2" drop springs.

The rear is leaf springs. I cannot honestly say what the guy before me did to lower it. Maybe removed a spring or heated them? Anyway, its lower than factory, but not low enough. Also has a very crappy payload. It sags horrbily under a couple hundred pounds...

I want to drop it at least 4". As you can see its leaf spring....I dont want to do a C-Notch.....or air bags. Just a conventional lower without the big budget!!!!
