how much drop?

how much will a flip kit and springs/spindles lower my truck? rather which spindles/springs would complement a flip kit nicely?

any pics of a shortbed w/ this drop?

You can get a 3" drop spindle and a 1 " drop spring for the front and a 5" flip kit and a 1" lowering block or use a 2" hanger in the 1" position in the rear for a 4/6 drop. Thats my plan along with a c-notch, just in case for the occasional heavy load. This is one variation of the many you can choose from. Make sure you get some good drop shocks while your at it.

Oh yes, Welcome to the Board!
