your truck has a flip kit right and your flip kit came with a set of shackles right? if so those are lifting shackles change those out and install your factory ones and there is another inch of drop

already have done that that how i got down 6" then lifted it up .5" with the coil overs, if i went lower with them the coils would be too loose and wouldnt be good, hard to explain but if i took out a leaf that would put more weight on the coil making it work better
