What kind of 4/6 do you have? Also, if you have drop leaves in the back then you'll need stock leaf springs, but then later you say that you need the stock shackles and hangers so please clarify. If the rear was done with shackles and hangers I'd just get stock hangers and leave the shackles set to 1 in. to make the kit a 4/7 so it'll sit level. JMO

Since you got drop leaves then you should have the stock shackles/hangers already. You'll need a set of stock leaves and a flip kit with a c-notch and you'll be set for the rear. Since you got coils in the front just get some McGaughy's drop spindles to give you that extra 2 in. in the front. Then get some good shocks; they will help you out tremendously as to how it rides.

Why not just buy some 2" drop shackles and a seperate notch for the rear and keep your drop leaves?

It depends on how you want it to look. Most 4/6 drops I've seen still have a little bit of a rake to them and need the extra inch in the back to level it out. Its just a personal preference really, but I've seen a lot of people do it to give a 4/7 drop so it's perfectly level.
