want my 2/4 to be a 2/5

I have the Eibach 2/4 drop and it has a slight rake to it. I would like to drop the rear another inch. I think my truck has the 3" leafs with a 1" drop shackle. Can I just replace the shackle with a 2" ? Has anyone done this and will I have any problems?

Hey I don't know much about drops besides that I'm going to get one soon, but your truck looks good. How much did that kit run you? Where did you get it? Also those LED map lights are cool as hell...where did you get those? How easy was the install? Thanks for all your help fellow Ford lover!!
