2/4 without flip kit?

I think I wanna drop 2/4 for a while and see how I like it. My ranger was low, and I kinda miss it. Is there anyway to get 4 in the back without a flip kit?

I think I could get drop leaf springs and shackles, but I may be wrong. If I went this route, would I be able to install the firestone air bags or something similar for hauling/towing?

Thanks!

That looks great man. How's your payload? I frequently haul things. I'm thinking I'll need some bags that I can fill up when I need to.

I have a 2"x 4.5" drop with eibach leafs and GF 2" shackles on the 1 1/2" setting and I hauled 300# of topsoil and 40 pieces of sod and I was resting on the GF bumpstops. My axle rests 3/4" below the bumpstops empty. I need bags or to go up some more a bit, which I am working on. Yesterday i picked up 15 bags of mulch and it dropped 1/2".

I have the Eibach 2/4 with leafs and shackles. Just installed it a couple weeks ago. My serious hauling days are probably over with, looking at clearance between the stops and rear end.
