Usually a flip wont require a notch. Remove the bumpstop and bracket.

About 5in in the rear as long as the springs are not altered. For a level look, do a 3.5/5in kit or for a little rake you can do a 4.5/5in kit.

I have a question since I am going to drop my truck I'm looking at a 4/6 drop will I still be able to have clearance with that or should I go more along with 3-3.5/5?

Re: How low can I go?
 

Ground clearance or axle to frame clearance?

ground

What tires are you running?

Re: How low can I go?
 

right now i'm running 235/75/15, but when I go drop it i'm going to run some 245/45/15

Re: How low can I go?
 

I think you meant245/60/15. Personally, i would do the 3.5/5

Re: How low can I go?
 

Okay thanks for the help. Its just hard to decide haha.

Re: How low can I go?
 

What I'm going to end up doing is just buy a 3-3.5/5 drop and if I like it I'll keep it, but if I want lower I'll go spend the extra to get the 4/6 drop.

Re: How low can I go?
 

the tires I'm running measure 27 in from ground to top of tire... the kits I'm looking at doesn't have a 5 in drop can I get away with a 4/6?

look into belltech there prices are a little high but everyone recommends them, and to do a 4/6 you'll have to c-notch the frame.

Re: How low can I go?
 

The spindles and flip kit are the expensive main components of these kits(2.5/5). The springs and shackles are the components to "fine tune" your drop. The springs come in 1in, 2in, and 3in(I dont recomend a 3in spring) drops and some drop shackles are adjustable for 1in or 2in.

Yes.

Ooo no I wouldn't go 3 inch springs the 4/6 kit I was looking at through bell tech the spindles were 2.5 which leaves the springs 1.5-2.5 cause it says it'll give you a 4-5 drop in the front

2.5' drop spindles, cut 1.5 coils, flip kit, drop shackles and remove the 2nd and 3rd smallest leafs. then you can be in the weeds
