Default best ride for 4/6 drop??

I'm sure its been asked and answered but I can't seem to find it anywhere.

I'm curious to see from other's experience, what do yall feel is the best setup for a 4/6 drop to get the best ride quality and handling??

I'm currently running belltech drop coils and belltech drop shocks up front, and DJM flip kit with c-notch and Mcguaghy's shackles set to 1 inch in rear with belltech street performance shocks. ( so tech its a 4/7 but I consider it a 4/6 since it sits level). The ride quality is horrible , very bouncey and axle wraps/wheel hops like a SOB , which I'm thinking may be my shocks and / or leaf springs because it just started this after having the drop at this hight for around 2 years . Also if I'm going around a corner and hit a pothole the back end tries to bounce around on me.

I'm fighting with myself as to how to cure all these issues. A complete new set up? Keep the setup now but add to kit? I'm confused about whats the best route to take.

Any advice and input would be greatly appreciated
