flip kit or "a 12-pack later" bright idea? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Please explain to me a flip kit. After looking at my truck I assumed that it was when the leafs are still on top, just most removed and then flipped over(?). Now, in Swervin's pictures it shows that his spring brackets have been flipped to accept the leafs under the axle. Is that a true flip kit? Did the guy before me just cut and compress the front springs and simply remove rear leafs to lower the stance? Maybe thats why my ride is so rough... If I post some pictures, can someone tell me what was done to my truck so I can fix it sometime to get a better ride and get rid of the axle twist during take-off?
