2/5 kits with drop shackles?

I've got a set of Ground Force drop shackles on my truck already and thinks it's time to go a bit lower. Is there a 2/5 that uses 2 inch shackles or would I have to find a set of stock shackles?

The djm flip kit I used is a total of 6" of drop with the stock shackles. With the 5" flip kit (pretty much the 6") it just has a 1" lifting shackle to give it a total of 5" of drop, same with the 4" it has a 2" lifting shackle to give it a total of 4" of drop.
Then I have belltech struts in the front sitting at 2". Once I get my 22s I'm probably going to drop it another inch.

Oh I miss read my bad. I think you can swap leaf springs to a 3" drop then use your lowering shackles to drop it to make it a 5". But I'm not to sure.

Where are people getting the 3 inch drop leafs? I'm getting back into wanting to lower mine, I forgot which they said is best for towing (drop leafs or flip?), and I believe Eibach went away with the 2/3 kit, (2 inch front, with 3 drop leafs), thats what I was wanting to run with pro dampers and already having 2 drop shackles in the garage.
