I would look for spindles up front and the shackle and hanger in the rear that should give 2 in front and 4 in the rear to level it out. might have to C notch the frame also or just do the shackle and that will give you 2 inches and should not hit.
there are alot of ways some cheaper but this is problem free.

Thanks for your help, I’m not sure how to c notch the frame, can I just use the shackles and 2 “ spindles in front without notching?

Some say you can get away with a flip kit without notching. It would all depend on whether your axle hits the bump stop after you lower it and how much that bothers you. I notched my frame in my build thread with a cut off wheel and a sawzall. I didn't really make a guide there on how to do it but youtube has a ton of videos on it. Some notch kits if you go that route will have instructions and guides as well.
