Just a standard flip right now. Gonna get it on the ground and go from there. Let’s just say the previous owner didn’t have a clue. I had to cut everything off. Changing leafs and going back with stock shackles and hangers for now. While you’re here If I wanna go lower when I’m done can I use another drop shackle or add leafs? The springs I got are 3 and overload.

Yep, you can do a shackle or leafs or both, but it'll stiffen the ride with more leafs.

Would a 2 or 4 drop shackle work with a stock hanger?

Yes, but with 4" you'd have to shim up the pinion angle, I would do shackles and hangers myself..
