Re: 6" drop

i did a rear flip on my 3/4 ton gmc, and it gave me 7in of drop, off course its got a bigger leaf pack than a 1/2 ton so it gave me 1in more of drop. i left all my leafs in, cause i wanted it to be a true 3/4ton. im running 9 leafs! lol

Me too. My truck is a Big 10 so it had the heavy duty spring pack.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Re: 6" drop

Left in three plus the overload on mine. Came down 8" with the flip kit. I had 3/4 ton springs in the back when I bought it. Took most of them out.
