Use the cal tracs made for a flip kit and do it right. You'd have to turn the leaf springs upside down the get that low without flipping the axle.

2" shackles, 2" hangers, remove the middle leaf, if you want more remove the over load..

this, removing leafs would end up resulting in a shitty ride...you can try drop leafs, but they typically aren't cheaper. Flip kits can be had cheap.
