2/4 drop

i am about to order the eibach 2/4 drop. i noticed some of you guys have this setup as well as the 2/5 eibach/GF drop. i have read multiple posting about needing shims with the 2" shackles, but will i need more degrees for the added 2"?? i guess the best question would be how many degrees of shim do you need for each inch you drop??

You'll be very close to bottoming out with the 2/5 drop with the GF shackles. I have eibach leafs and I am on the 1.5 hole on the GF shackles, giving me a 2/4.5 drop and I can't haul much weight in the bed before I'm resting on the bumpstops, maybe around 400 pounds.

I have the shims in, but I am going to put in the eibach 1" shackles soon and taking out the GF shackles and shims.
