Lowered the cheap way, now need advice to do it right
Awhile back I went the cheap route to lower my truck at a shop. They cut my front springs and added shackles and "de-arched" my leaf springs in the rear giving me about a 2/4 drop. I am totally paying the price for my mistake cuz it rides like crap and am tired of it.
I want a 3/5 and I want it done right. My question is what do I do now, mainly for the rear? The front I guess I'll order new factory springs and order Belltech's dropstruts. But for the rear I'm at a loss cuz of the de-arched leaf springs. If I order a flipkit it just relocates factory suspension. I need new leaf springs.
Help me out, guys.

Pretty much answered yourself ha just get new leafs and a flip kit to install when you are gonna put the new ones on....i would say heat them and bend back to right angle but that would probaby drastically decrease the load max seeing as tempered steel flexing could potentially snap
