Default I need more drop options?

I did a Belltech 3" strut up front and with close to a 1,000# of work stuff in the back the rear dropped 3 or 4". As you can see it is not enough i was thinking i would do a 2" hanger in the rear and a 2" set of springs in the front. The only kit i can find is the ground force kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/grf-9987/applications and it seems way over priced for 2 coils two hangers and some shims. I looked for about a hour yesterday and cant find what i want. Has anyone came across a set of 2" drop springs? I can buy drop hangers locally for $50 then i would just need shims for the axle.

Are you 4x4? (If so take out the Block for 1").
Im not sure why your talking about hangers when you can grab a pair of 2" Belltech Shackles from Tony here (Djm/Belltech Direct) for the rear. There quick and cheap to put on. Hangers are welded or riveted. If you want the front lower grab Belltech coils & dial in with the spacers on your Drop struts (they get you 3.5" drop alone no spacers up to +1) ...the coils will grab you the other 2"👌🏼.
Your talking somewhere around $250-$300 total i'd say.
If you want to go lower than that in the rear you have to go with a flip kit.. Thats another Ball game for you carrying that weight.
If your 3" in the front then your 4 1/2" in the rear now. Im 3.5/5.5 and Level & so is my cousins Supercrew.

You can get drop coils alone all day. There like $170 for Belltechs. Thats why im saying post in Belltech Direct Sticky up top. You'll see i did also to go lower now. Tony will answer sometime this week with whats best for what your looking for. Im no expert at all. Read the directions and answer his questions like he posted so he knows what year/ setup you have.
