lowering
I took the rear shackles off to drop the rear so the truck was closer to level.
If I wanted to drop the truck a little more is it possible without replacing spindles or any other major work? Just a little lower, maybe an inch, or 2" max.

Re: lowering
Your choice to lower the front is as follows:
Lowering springs - 2” Dropped spindles - 2-2.5” DJM tubular control arms - 2” Remember these year trucks had kits that dropped them: Front/Rear 2/4 4/6 - requires c-notch and under bed trim above pumpkin 5/7 - same

Re: lowering
Lowering springs are availalbe in more then just 2", namely 1" and 3" drops as well. I never found any 2.5" drop spindles for this gen truck either.
OP- so you lowered the rear some, are you asking about rear only or the entire truck down 1-2" more now?

Lower the entire truck another 1" or so. It is currently fairly close to level so I would want to drop it an equal amount front and rear.

Re: lowering
Rear you can do the leaf spring front mounts known as hangers, or get lowered leafs. Front I'd just get some new springs, they don't make 1" spindles.
