I did,

2.5 Western Chassis spindles, clears 15x8 rally wheels
Western Chassis rear drop hanger kit.
Stock shocks.

Unless you are slamming the truck you can skip the drop shocks. I paid $150 for the drop hanger kit and $250 for the spindles.

Does anyone have a photo of a installed Flip Kit? To see what it looks like under the truck.

2.5-3" front drop with a flip kit in rear will look ghetto as hell in my opinion. Level or front down is the stance to go for.

Thanks for the Photo, My wife is 4' 11" so it's very hard to get into the truck. So I need to go at least 3".

I think I going to go 4.5/6..... Father / Son projects are fun with (2) guys with Type A personalities. My Father being a retired military officer, is used to command. He only wants to go 2.5/4 but, since I am spending my own cash.....I am going low. I would be made looking at a truck that could go lower. There may be some sort feelings /words exchanged but , I have much love and respect for the man. He showed me what it means to be a man and take care of your family!!!!

Went with Western Chassis components (spindles, flip kit, Bell Tech shocks). Looking to go 3/5 right now to see how it sets. Cut 1/2 coil off to give me another 1". Thanks for all of the input guys. Just ordered all the goodies from Kris @ The Suspension Source , this morning. I bought my last set of Bell Tech shocks from her and decided to give her some more business. One step closer...........

I'm not sure which truck you are referring to. I have a bagged 77 and a static dropped 84 Sierra.

FYI- This pic is not mine, and i think its actually an 88-98 OBS truck, but it gives a visual to answer the question
