I know people might disagree w/this but, a flip kit is a flip kit. If you measure the C/L of the rear when it's under the springs to the spring pad + add the thickness of the spring pack you should have the amount of drop (which in my case equaled 6") when it's flipped. The only way I can see there would be a variance is the spring pack dimensions.
That being said, I still don't understand how mine is approx 7.5" from initial measurements. My shocks (w/the extenders) have only 1" of travel before bottoming out, there is only 1" or less between the top of the axle tube & the frame (before the drop it was 8").
I'm not complaining really, just wondering what the heck happened. The 20's definitely look sweet tucked. I just don't know if I can get the the front down low enough to balance it out & still be daily driven w/o tearing up the a-arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
