Default Lowering my rcsb

Hi everyone, im new to this site but have always followed posts made here. My truck is a 2000 sierra rcsb 4x4 z71 with a 5.3. Current mods are 2/4 drop by keys, shackles, removed blocks and drop shocks. Also has pacesetter LTs and ory with a blackwidow 250 muffler and shift kit. Im looking to lower the truck another 2 inches to get it at the stance i want cuz it atill sits to high for me. Tire size now is 305/45r22 but im gonna swap wheels and get 275/45r20. I know for the front im gonna need drop spindles since its 4wd but idk what else im gonna need for the rear besides a c notch. any help on finding the parts im gonna need to get the extra 2 inches from the rear without completely redoing the suspension will be very helpful. Thanks in advance

Flip kit and a notch will get you there. I think you'll have to swap the lowering shackles for 1in lift shackles to get you that 5-6in total rear drop.

I run Mcgaughys on my 01 rscb and love them! Combined with the Belltech street performance lowering shocks on all four, it rides amazing!
