Lowering question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was thinking of lowering my 86 sb by adding a flip kit to the rear and 2.5" drop springs in the front. How hard of a job is this? I want to be able to do it myself. what is involved in a flip kit? It just puts the springs on the bottom of the rear end instead of the top correct? And to do the springs do you just remove your old ones and put in the new ones or do you have to replace other parts also? Is this the best way? I'm really looking for a 2/4 drop. I think this will give me about what I want. Sorry but I'm new to lowering.

Thank you
Jeremy
