Question Going even lower ?!

how's it goin everyone, been a while since i've posted anything...
so here's the idea, I'm already sitting down on a -3/-5 kit from Ground Force from when F150store.com was still in biz. pretty much the same as any other spring/flip kit.
I want to go lower now, and bags arent an option at the moment plus i want the suspension stiff. So now i'm thinking of what to do that doesnt involve cutting the front springs.

Has anyone tried using Belltechs drop spindles in conjunction with springs?

As for the rear, i'm having another issue, the axle already sits on the stops (which were already cut down to 2") so apparently i'm going to be notching the frame. does anyone make a notch kit? or am i going to be playing fabricator again.

Any ideas or info helps... thanks

thanks.. i'll have to check with them... my only real 2 concerns with it being a static 5" total drop like that in the front was 1-tire clearance when turning (275/45r20) dont really think its going to be a problem though. 2-how low that front cross member is going to be....
