Yes you are correct about the rear. Iused shackles & hangers which got me down 4 in , then I had the stock leaf springs (4 on each side dearcked ) approx.2.5 in. for a total of 6.5 in ,or thereabouts. If Idid over again I WOULD DO A FLIP KIT . Iended up spending too much money on the de arcking. Had it done twice because the 1st time . wasnt satisfied with look. What a disease to have. Ive also heard the lowering leaf springs you can buy are a little mushy.
