Personally I'd keep it where it is. But I've never been a fan of trucks that were dropped too low, and slammed definitely doesn't do anything for me. I think it looks good with the 3/4

Looks good! I'd go one more inch for sure. Do you have the rear bumbstops mounted to the frame directly or are they on the factory bracket that drops them closer to the axle?

looks good, but I don't know how you'll get lower in the back another inch if you already have 2" hangers and 2" shackles.

There aren't any true 3" drop shackles for half tons, only 3/4 tons. Now I've had some 3" 3/4 ton on my 1/2 ton before and they touch the bottom of the bed and are just too long.

1-2 inch drops, but in reality it is about 1 1/2 inches total. This is what I have, never seen 3". You can get a smaller block, a member on gmfs sells them. Like $80 for 2".
