5/8 Here I come! Couple questions.

So ive figured out that my truck prolly only has like a 4/4 on it right now. I bought the truck to drive the crap out of it about a year ago, but lately Ive decided its time to do some updating and more modding

So, I have spindles and springs up front taking me down about 4", so for the front im gonna chop about 1/2 a coil or so out to take me down another inch, this shouldnt affect the ride at all since they are already lowered springs. Hopefully this will give me the stance I want in the front.

The rear I need to flip and notch, I already have some 2" hangers on there wich im gonna use, so that will give me 7 to 8" in the rear. So I guess my question is, wich flip kit and notch kit is the best? I want one with all the components included (new U-bolts, etc).

Just after doing some paint and bodywork on the bucket, ive got the fever bad now. Going to 5/7 or 5/8 for under 200 bucks is gonna be soooooo sweet. I cant wait to hear everything scrape soon.

You guys will be suprised how different it looks.
