72' step side rear end

[Mike C]

I never throw anything away on an old car. I assumed that you had kept your stock springs...

But if the "lowered" springs are the same height, you can do the axle flip on them. The lowering shackle is another option. These are 2 1/4" springs note when you order the shackle. Early Classic Enterprises my recommendation.

I bought a DJM flip kit from Summit for the rear. Everything else from ECE.

I'm getting ready to put the lowering kit on my '69 short step. I have ECE 2 1/2" spindles and 2" small block springs for the front and am doing the flip in the rear. My truck has the optional "heavy duty" leafs which have 4 leafs and an overload rather than 3. If the flip doesn't lower it enough (and it's going to lower it a bunch...) I have the shackles as well.
