Default 2" or 3" rear drop leafs?

Is there really any difference in the two. Pro's and Con's? If anyone has pictures of there 67 camaro with 2" or 3" rear drop leafs please share. I will be doing one or the other just wanting to know any set backs. Does it affect the ride quality? Thanks again.

Heres mine with dse 3 inch drop leafs and I wish it was 4. 17" wheels. No issue with ride quality, just avoid big bumps. Go 3" if you must use leafs. My issue with it is the rear ride height is not adjustable- next time 4 link.

If 3" isnt enough with leafs is it big no-no to shim it down a little with lowering blocks ? Like 1/2 - 1 " ??
