BellTech 6400 Shackles w/Explorer springs??

[BronKitis]

So, I am doing a cheap budget build until I can afford to straight axle my b2. I have the stock front springs with 1" spacers and the rear is all stock. I ordered the BellTech 6400 shackles today and noticed they give about 2 inches of lift at the bottom hole and about 1" at the 2nd to last hole.

My question is if I did go the full 2" in the rear, could i put my explorer front springs back in the front with the 1" spacer to have adequate height? I have no drop brackets and have never installed the explorer springs so I have no idea how much lift I'm looking at getting with them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

should get around 4-5 inches of lift

My choptop has explorer leafs, the belltech shackle on the 2" setting, and an extra leaf in the pack. Got me about 5" of lift because it's level with the 5" lift I have in the front (3" duff coils and axle pivot drops plus an F-150 spring perch).
