Default Little bit lower ECSB question

i want to go maybe 1-2" lower in the back not sure how its lowered now but there is no blocks and the leafs are still over the axle. what do i need to get to lower it more. i do plain on a small notch and i will use air springs so i can still pull a boat in the summer. in the pictures you cant really tell there is rake but inperson there is and i hate it

Man, that looks pretty low already, gotta have shackles and hangers already, or lowering springs or something. It would help to know how it's lowered already, if it's just Hotchkis springs, I guess that you could add shackles and/or hangers or something. If that's already been done, might be time for a flip kit...either way you're going to need a C-notch.
