How low with inner fenders

I have a Mcgaughys lowering kit on my 97. It's a 5/7 with added drop shackles.
The rear sits a little lower than the front. I could easily raise the rear but would prefer to lower the front a little bit. The spindles are 2" and springs are 3". How much lower can I go and keep the stock inners and what's the best way to get another inch or two front drop? Cut some off the drop springs?

Doubt you can go anymore. I'm at 5" front and I rub every now and then with enough weight in the truck.
