I can get the ride height down where I need it but then the geometry is off, the rear roll center ends up under ground. Then during cornering the roll center gets even worse. The control arms are so short any movement is amplified. I already did this on the front (2' drop spindles and 3" longer control arms) what a nice improvement. If I could get at least a 1-1/2" drop in the rear upright it would be a big help. I am running 335/30/18 and they have a diameter of 25.6". The stock tires have a 28" diameter Big difference.
