=======================
As stated by Deserrunner33, putting the springs under the axle will get your4" of drop.
If you do that & the shackle flip your gonna get approx. 7" of drop and will more than likely be in need of a C-notch as the axle will be hittin the frame.
So I would recommend one or the other, NOT BOTH without serious modification (C-notch).
