So now it's sitting on 4.5 static drop and impossible to drive. Putting stock springs back in it tomorrow and cutting a coil to get around a 3.5" drop.

Sounds like it's been quite a hassle. Cutting one coil should give you a 2.5" drop, I would try that first..... Good luck with what ever you decide to do.
