Anyone running a 3" spindle and 3" spring?

I would really like this thing low, now that I know CTSV oilpan will be above crossmember I can go into the weeds... Static drop, 3" Belltech spindles, and I am considering a 3" spring. The tires are 285/50 18. Will this be ok and what will I have to do to even out the back? I have a 4" leaf spring with a 1.5" shackle. Thanks 6772.

My personal preference is to never run a 3" spring. The spring is too short for my tastes.

I'm running a 2.5" drop spindle and 3" front springs- I know that's not exactly what you're asking about- and I have 15x7 wheels with 225/75r15 tires- which I believe were 28" tall
