Default rear lowering problem!!

When I got my 93 Chevy shortwide it had a set of what I believe are 2 inch lowering shackles but the problem is they just about touch the bed and I want it lower, any ideas about what's wrong?

you have to buy a hangers for the front part of the leaf spring and you can also buy longer shackles for the bed but you may have to notch the support on the bed

I have a question to how to make a new post? I must be stupid or something but i can figure it out

If u want to go lower you can just do an axle flip and put the axle on top of the spring instead of over it. It'll drop you 4 inches roughly.
