C20 rear leaf lowering dilema

so I want to lower the rear of the longhorn, but my leaf springs are 2-1/2 wide. So the DJM kit will not work nor will the ECE. Anyone run into this before with out changing the leaf springs shackles to match the narrow 2-1/4 leafs?

Re: C20 rear leaf lowering dilema

Just got off the phone with Chuck from CPP and he is telling me his replacement lower leaf springs are 2-1/2" wide. So I am going to go with 3" drop coils in front, 4" drop leafs in rear with 1-2" shackles in rear. That should get me with a 3/5 drop for the Longhorn.
