I want to go 2 more inches lower

I just got my 20's and instaled the beltech 2" drop spindles and cut a coil to get 4" in the front, and i have shackles and hangers to get 4" in the back... I was looking at it the other day and its sitting to high in the back... like 2" so how do i do it? Flip kit, and put the factory shackles back on? Replace with 2" drop Leaf Springs? I think im tring to get 6-8 inches of drop in the back... and an i going to need to cut the frame to so that i wont lose to much of my ride quality? Thanks for the help... ill post pics when i get home from work. Also let me know if you think i even need the 2 more inches...

Another 2 inches in the back couldn't hurt. Still looks good the way it is tho

I've got drop shackles on mine right now and was wondering too how to go lower if the need arose. probably the most effective way to retain ride quality would be to put in bags, but i don't have any experience with those. someone else chime in...
