2 1/2 Spindle with 3" Rear Spring

Is anyone running a 2 1/2 dropped spindle with 3 inch rear spring drop, please post pics of your truck. I saw a 1967 Chev long box truck with that set up at a Show and Shine last week and the owner said it made a real difference in the handling of the truck. I dont want to go real low with mine and thought that small drop would do the trick for me.

Anyone?
The norm is at least 2" lower in the rear.
Like a 2/4 or 3/5 drop.
I would think a 4" drop rear spring would be better.

I have 5" in the rear and 2.5 spindles and 2" drop coils in the front. Rides real nice and a daily driver with no issues on the Alberta roads
