Lowering Rear

I want to lower the rear of my truck (1990 F150) a couple inches. I've seen the flip kit for a 5 inch drop but I don't want that much of a drop. Any options for only dropping it two inches?

Thanks. Oh yea, while I'm at it.. will I have to adjust the pinion angle or no? I'm going to lower the front 3 inches while I'm at it. It has an even stance right now (diff springs in the front than stock).

The pinion angle should be ok. You can just have the springs re-arched at a spring shop.

Do you know if I'll still be able to run traction bars? Or will it throw that out of whack as well?

Thanks again.
