Looks great man! I started with a 3/5 on mine and wanted it lower in the rear too. I'm was running 3" coils up front and 2" hangers, 2" shackles and 4" leafs. I added the hangers to lower the rear more but that was at about 7 or more inches in the rear and was too much. When I first dropped it my shackle was set to 1". So to fix the drop I took the shackle off. With the 2" hangers mine actually sets at about 6.5 now from the measurements I took. I don't know how that happened but for some reason it sits lower with the hangers than the shackles did. Here's a pic of it when it was at about 8" in the rear. As you can see it isn't level at all! LOL I was tucking just a little tire in the back. I had to roll my fender lip to make it work.

I don't have any pics of it after I fixed the drop though, but it sits completely level now. But with the setup I have now it rides like ***!! Mostly due to the coils. Sometime this year I'm either going to drop the front to a 4 using LCA's and install a flip kit out back and leave my 2" hangers on for an 8 out back or I'm just going to bag it. Prolly bag it though!

Default Helper Spring

I pulled the helper spring out of mine and it brought it down about 3/4 of an inch but very noticeable. So it looks alot more level now than it did. My ride didn't change at all except it bottoms out a lil bit easier now, but it is bearable.
