Re: easy 4/6 drop
Ive heard you dont wanan go over a 3" drop SPRING
Maybe a flip kit, c notch and cut a half coil and a used drop spindle?

Re: easy 4/6 drop
NO, do not cut a 3" coil. Its going to ride like crap. With the spring that short it could come out of the spring pocket if your not careful.
Save the money for dropped spindles, and cut a stock coil. Sell the 3" spring to someone that doesn't want to go lower. In the rear, you can raise the hanger or add a shackle, but you need to get the proper amount of leaves back in your pack. Do it right before you spend money on wheels.

Re: easy 4/6 drop
If your on a budget..
Front-Id get some drop spindles, cut a coil from your stock coils and drop shocks up front along with a swaybar if you dont have one Rear Since you have leaves, a flip kit and C notch and whatever comes with the kit (Not familiar with leave spring rears)

Re: easy 4/6 drop
they have axle flip brackets on ebay for like $30 or so, and then you can buy or find a notch if you need it later. The front you could do spindles and then cut front coils or just buy the 3 inch springs and leave them, but then the back end might be lower.
