Rear leaf questions

[06RangerXLT]

Been a while since i posted here....

im running chevy 64's in my truck, a hybrid. heres the stack:

Chev 64 main
ranger OEM main with eyes cut off
Ranger secondary
Chev64 Final with clamps
No overload

What i have to play with:

Chev 64 3+ overload
Ranger stock 3+ overload

now it rides like a dream, but my problem is it sits just about level with my front end, meaning its giving me about 1.75" lift over my stock leaf. i have all the leafs left over still, so i can play with them. How in the hell do i get a extra 2-3" out of the back without killing my ride. I do need to go back in and re-combine the leafs for it as im not happy with the lengths of the ranger leafs on the 64. Going to play with them maybe thursday morning.

Thinkin this:

Chev64 Main
Chev64 secondary
Ranger Main no eyes
Ranger secondary <---(that one might not stay there)
Ranger final w/ clamp
No Overload

any ideas?

No blocks, no overload please. THANKS!

Have they been re-arched?

no all the leafs havent been touched since factory. also might point out my shackle is not flipped, its in the stock location and im running a 2" lift shackle. forward hanger has been moved forwards accordingly to a 64 swap.

I had mine flipped 7" shackle arched 14" and it was about 3.5" higher than stock.

your 64's, ok. anything custom to the leaf pack? or are they stock leafs just with the re-arch?

also, do you happen to know how long a stock shackle is on the truck? i can go off that as mine is 2" longer then stock.


Thanks for the info by the way, very much appreciated.


EDIT:
also if you dont mind me asking, whats your travel bump to droop? ill probably have to strap it but id LOVE to run a similar setup minus the shock to yours.

64" chevy/ranger pack, re-arched to 14", belltech shackles made into my own versions, and my own fabricated drop hangers.

Pulls 17" of travel

At ride height, is about 5-6" over stock.

one question, where do i get myself these and is there any specific brand to go with? i hate my clamped ones, i want to ditch them.

also nathan do you remember the order the leafs were combined? id love to know that one.
