I'm looking at ordering the 3" Drop Rear Leaf Springs and then using the 2" Shackle (with the 1" optional hole) to get a total of a 5" drop in the rear. I know this is running close to the frame.

I figured if I end up hitting the bump stops too much I can always back off the shackle to the 1" drop for a total of 4" drop.

I guess you can buy shorter bump stops?

Please share your experience.

I don't have any personal experience beyond a 4" rear drop, there was someone around with 4/6 drop without a c-notch. Do a search and that thread should show up. Although everyone recommends a c notch for a 6" drop, he said it was still a good ride without it. So a 5" drop sounds like it would be ok (just don't hold me to it! ).
