Flip kit drop?
Just wondering how much drop I can expect by moving the rear axle to the top of the leaf springs, And still using stock shackles and rear hanger? 1977 C10, 12 bolt dif. It's a heavy half, but I'm taking out the helper spring.

Re: Flip kit drop?
That's about what I figured too. I was hopping for about 5" drop front and rear. I want to keep some of the rake it has already.
