Maxtrac 2/3" Lowering Kit - Use New 3" Drop Leafs Instead of Rear Flip Kit

[Brotatochips]

So I've got a 1998 Ranger XLT 2.5L RWD that I'm looking to do a 2/3" drop on. I've not done suspension work on a vehicle of mine before, but I work at a body shop now and have access to a proper lift so I'm looking to pull the trigger on this. I've zeroed in on the Maxtrac 2/3" kit, but the truck also has the infamous Ranger lean. I've read that new leafs/coils usually do the trick to correct it and I figure that's what needs to happen with mine too.

So putting that information together, I have found 3" drop leaf springs that I would like to use on in the rear so I can correct the lean and achieve the 3" drop at the same time. So I am looking to just buy the coil springs and shocks listed in the Maxtrac kit separately in conjunction with the leafs to get the overall 2/3" drop I'm wanting. My two questions are:

1) Would using the shocks listed in the kit still be appropriate to use with the lower leaf springs instead of the flip kit? (I figure a 3" drop is a 3" drop, but maybe the shock mounting location will be different?)
2) I've read about "eccentrics" bushings being used to correct the negative camber? Would 2.5" bushings be appropriate to correct that? Or would it be a smaller size I'd need?

I apologize if this is a lot of asking for specific information for nothing, but I'm sure I can do the installation, I just want to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot with the parts I order. Maybe there's a better solution to fix the lean and get the drop that I'm unaware of? Any help with this would be appreciated.

The rear shock mounting location won't be different with the drop leafs, so the rear shock ought to work.

The valving of the shock shouldn't matter since they're short stroke anyway.

I did the drop coils in front and flip kit in the rear (3/3) and did not eyeball a huge decrease in camber. I used to drift, so I know what -3 or -4 camber looks like, and my truck doesn't have that.

I did see the bushings mentioned on a 4/5" drop kit thread and thought the camber offset from a 2/3" drop might be negligible but I just wanted to make sure.

Thanks for the info and heads up on the rear shocks.
