Like Eyepoppin said, get your bumpstops out of there. You are gonna have to cut more coils off. Try leaving about 3-1/2 coils. That should get you close. If not, your tire is bottoming out in the fender and won't drop anymore. If you have a wide rim, the inside of the rim could be catching on the fendw well also. Check that clearance before you cut more coils actually...
Monoleaf and 3" block will lay out the back, but it depends on your tires/rims. Check for clearance in the wheel well and see if all is clear. This set-up will bottom the axle onto frame, unless you have a notch. Do you have a notch?
Describe your set-up with more specifics and we will be able to help more accurately...
