Thumbs up Guys riding on Hotchkis TVS 2/4

Is anyone that is riding on Hotchkis TVS 2/4 also using 2"drop shackles with the rear leafs? I had them on the stock leafs but ditched them when kit was installed.
Hotchkis says no problem running them together.

I don't see why not as long as you're notched and you check pinion angle afterwards. I considered doing it before pulling the Hotchkis leafs and doing an axle flip. Are you also doing spindles or lcas on the front with the Hotchkis springs?
