lower in rear
How much drop would just flipping the rear on a 67 GMC with leaf springs give me?

Re: lower in rear
I'm not sure on a 67, but I believe it drops the 60-66 about 6". It's allot, you'll probably have to notch the frame.

Re: lower in rear
Not really, and there are probably better ways than removing leafs. They make some kind of oddball hangers that lower the leaf suspension a few inches.
I don't see why you couldn't use a flip-kit and then taller shackles on the rear of the springs to get some clearance back. I mean shackles aren't an ideal way to do things (always hated them growing up), but as long as you were only adding a couple of inches I don't see it being that much of a problem. This is speculation mind on my part.
