Just need 1" more

I put 2" progressive coils in the front, and put shackles and hangers in the rear for a 4*2 drop, but wanna go 1" lower on both. Will i have to flip my rear to do this? I'm debating bagging the rear, but I'll still have to flip it, and use the bags to lift it if I wanna bring the height up, right. BTW, I used Belltech and DJM parts. I'm running 295*50/15s on the front, so don't wanna scrape it when I haul stuff. Likewise if I bag the rear, I can haul stuff too, like my tractor, but can look cool at the coast

Eliminate the shackle in the rear and flip the rear end on top of the leafs, in the front your better off using drop spindles over using 3" front springs. Dropping 3" in the front with springs only it is very hard to get and keep a proper alignment and more prone to bump steering problems.
