I recently put a 4" drop on the rear of my 84 by way of shackles and hangers..Is there a way to get 2" more out of it without replacing any of the stuff I just added? I thought about taking the stuff off and doing a c-notch for a 6" drop, but I'm already 4" into it. Might as well stay here if I can't add 2" more onto it. I was originally thinking just a 2/4 drop, but since the rear drop, I feel like I want a 4/6 instead.

drop leafs. or pull some. Anything else and I think you'd want stock hangers back on and do a flip kit.

Yeah, you can remove all but 3 leafs (leaves?) or get some drop spring leaf packs. Or, keep it simple and do a flip! Of course then you'll need to do the front to match...

I've seen a lot of people in your shoes, they do a 2/4 then they regret it and wish they had done more. Not the end of the world, just a little bit more labor and some used parts for sale.
