static drop question

so I'm sitting here looking at lowering components for a static drop and got to thinking if combined new spring hangers and drop shackles with a axle flip would be a possible 10" drop right? so my question here what combination would result in either a 8" or a 10" front drop or if it's even possible to get that low on a static drop?

Re: static drop question

The rear would work with a step notch in the frame.

The front is different.
Even if you could achieve anything more than a 6" drop,... the a-arms would be either on the ground or dangerously close.
Plus the front track width would have to be narrow enough to turn the front wheels "inside" the fenders,... not through the wheel opening.

Re: static drop question

8 inch or more in the front will take air bags and a dropmember to do safely.
