what springs to order?

I have a 65 chevy swb w/wood bed and it has 2" blocks already and I'm wondering what springs I need to order to leave about 2" between the frame and axle? I plan on trimming the bumpstop in half but ECE says I can go 6" without a notch but I don't know if that will work or not. I can't afford to buy the wrong springs so please give me your ides and opinions..This is the look I'm after with cut springs (temporary)
The second pic is sitting on the full bumpstop without the bed floor in it.
The first has cut springs but once the bed is in I'll be on the bump stops but its the look I'm going for with the floor in it..

Re: what springs to order?

A 4 or 5'' drop spring for a total of 6 or 7''? Just a guess, sorry I can't be more help.
