Thanks J, btw, yours looks to be a sweet ride...you've helped me to decide to do the flip on the rear. Curious, if I were to keep the 15" rims if a 2.5" drop spindle would require less grinding than a 3" drop spindle? I'm looking to lower 5" in the front and 5-6 in the rear. The person that owned my truck prior to me removed a leaf on each spring pack. I've got two 4 leaf spring packs from the salvage yard I plan to install in place of the packs currently on the truck. This should put the rear close to factory height then install the flip like you did.
