Re: Drop too much or just right???
Your plans are a bit of out whack.
Adding the spindles in the front will get you either 2.5 or 3 inches lower depending on which brand you choose. Thats a good idea and will work well. Just make sure you're using a tire and wheel combination that can tolerate going lower without fouling the fenders or fender wells.
In the rear though is where you plan is a bit suspect. You already have a 4 inch drop with the shackles and hangers. If you do a flip, you're going to go an additional 5 inches down. That's a full 9 inches drop. You'll have to notch the frame a bunch to get any clearance and the end result is that it will be too low. If you like the current stance, you're gong the wrong way doing this. You'll be a good bit lower in the back than in the front.
The best option in my opinion is to reinstall the stock shackles and hangers and then do a flip kit. That will get you lower in the rear but not too low. If, when complete, you still want it a bit lower in the rear to tune your stance, add just the drop shackle back which will allow you to drop it a further inch or two depending on which hole you use in the shackle.
