Default how should i do it???

i have a 2004 rcsb. in the rear 2in lowering shackles and i took out my mid leaf spring. so now i only have the main leaf spring and the fat load one.
i am about 7ish down in the rear from stock 4x4. i am 5ish down from 2wd. i was thinking about moving my front hangers up a few inches instead of buying the after market ones. i was also thinking about putting the stock shackles back on, putting the leaf spring back in and doing some kind axle flip kit.
any advice????

if you put everything back the way it was stock, and just do the flip kit, thats gonna give you 6" of drop. have fun moving those hangers forward. that gonna do crazy things with your suspension geometry, not to mention have fun "flattening out" the leaf pack to get it to reach the new hanger location. if you want more than a 6" rear drop with the flip kit, you could look into some blocks like the s-10's use, or a drop shackle

How much lower do you want to go? If you go back stock and run a flip kit, that will put you down 8" from stock 4x4 height. If you put the shackles back on, it will be down 10" from stock 4x4 height. I would go with the flip kit vs moving/changing hangers around.
