I would buy a drop kit this way you know how much of a drop you got,Cutting the springs and taking leafs out will work but if you cut too much or take too many leafs out it will ride rougher or be lower then you want.

True but I don't have the cash right now for a flip c notch kit, drop spindles, new bushings and everything else that goes along with dropping it right. That will happen eventually but down the road when I can do it right. I just don't like the stock hight and I would like to get it a little lower. Like 2 maby 3inches.

Cut 1 coil, should get you 2", go to the parts store buy some shackles for $40 and remove you overload and maybe a leaf depending on how many are in the leaf pack now.
