super stock suspension

okay so some time ago i switch my 1968 Barracuda Notch over from stock to SS leaf springs and drag shocks.

my question to you guys is - can i deARCH the leafs and get a 1-2 inch drop even though i have longer drag shocks or would i be wasting my time and not get a lower heigh because of longer shocks?

thanks guys.
Yes, you can dearch them, first measure the arch presently then determine hoe much you want to lower, ratio is 1 to 1. put springs between something VERY study and bend opposite of the arch with a hydraulic pump jack check results before going too far.
