Re: 6'' flip kit
The front looks more like a 3in drop, check to see if your coils are installed properly. To see if you have drop shackles look above the shackle to see if the bed brace is notched and also see how many leafs you have. Typically you should have 4(3 thin and 1 thick). If you have less than that someone removed a leaf to lower it at some point.

Re: 6'' flip kit
Make sure your springs are seated properly, and possibly give them time to settle if they are new drop springs.

Re: 6'' flip kit
being an old farm truck its very very possible the rear springs are wore out... farmers are known to use abuse and over load trucks almost regularly

Re: 6'' flip kit
the heavy duty leaf pack will yield more drop in the rear because the thickness of the leaf pack.

Re: 6'' flip kit
bed brace does not have to be notched if it's on the longer leaf pack
