The 2" Belltech drop spindles are the only ones I have seen for our cars. So with a total drop of 3.5", I think you will have problems. I have the drop spindles, and i cant conceive going lower than a total of 2" all around. I have a set of drop spindles if you are interested in buying them. Email me.

I have 1.5" Spring drop along with Belltech Drop spindles 2.0". But I've seen other companys that make them. Can remember right of hand.
As for safe... You have to changer your bump stops. Bend sheet metal and try to stay way from rough roads like Pot holes, road construction, bumps...
Hey Red I think I met you at the In-Out in Livermore...
