Smile lowest static drop in rear?

has anyone done....and have pics....of a nice step notch but with leaf springs dropped with a helper bag to be able to ride....in other words, could i:

move my hangers up 2
2 inch shackles
flip kit
4 inch lowered/angled lowering block
and take out 1 or 2 leaves ( mine only has 4)

as long as my pinion was straight....
that would give me 14 inches of drop and my axle would be through the frame 2 inches. the ride wouldnt be terribly bad

bags would air up and give me clearance to drive

i know your answers will be to just 2 or 4 link it, but wondering if this would be an option. i could do it for almost free.
