assuming you have it all aligned you could try lowering the back down sum then get it realigned

ok
so are your top arms bolted on the outside of the shock?

or you may have to go with drop spindles...

yeah but can be difficult to find. A guy had some for sale a little while ago. Most commonly found in 2" drop. But the rear drop blocks should be as hard to find and comes it 2" and 3". but rear blocks wouldn't be hard to make your own either.

Try flipping your control arms and swapping them left to right.
