You can use a drop shackle for the rear leafs,... BUT it gets in the way of the gas filler neck. Are you sure your spindles are a 2" drop,... and not a 3"? Only other choice is a dropped leaf spring or removal off a few leaves from the pack. Do you have any pics of it?

Any spring shop can do it.
My local one charges right at 100 bucks to do it however low you want AND to replace all the bushings too (including the parts). We went 4 inches lower in the rear on my truck. It's lowered 5 in front.

It can't be that hard to install trailing arms is it? That would be the best next to 4-link
