Thumbs up upgrading my suspension

Right now I currently have a Rough Country 4.5 short arm kit. I'm wanting to put a 1.5 or 2 inch coil spacer on the front and maybe a block in the back under the leaf spring. With the 4.5 kit i Bought, I had an add a leaf with bigger shackles but that wasn't a full 4.5 inch lift. it was more of a 3 or a 3.5. So I bought a shackle relocation kit which dropped my shackles even more about 2 inches, and made my lift even on the front end and back so it wasn't sagging anymore. but now my leaf spring is kinda straightened out instead of being bowed. should I just put blocks under my leaf spring or buy a new leaf spring? another question is...will my shocks bottom out when I flex? since I got them with my my 4.5 inch kit. Any feedback would be helpful and much appreciated. I've got pictures on my profile you guys can look at and tell me what y'all think
