Lowering less than 4 inches with bags

I was looking at putting a set of bags on the front of my truck just so that I can get a smother ride and all the kits that I see for sail say that they drop the front 4 -6 inches when they are at ride height. I already have 2 inch drop spindles and 6 inches is lower than I can go due to the tires I am running and fears of bottoming out. Is there a kit or a way to have it be only 2-3 inches lower at ride height?

Re: Lowering less than 4 inches with bags

just build a lower mount out of some pipe the diameter of the spring pocket, the bag will squish all the way before the truck drops 6"

the other benefit is the bag will get full lift + the height of the pipe, it will probably go up a couple inches higher than stock and you will clear tree stumps.
