Re: Rear flip kit 77 big10
When I did my 4 / 6 drop my rear springs sagged bad - I had them re-arched and put them back in and it still sagged. So I had them add another leaf in and arch again and it came up to the proper height. I wouldn't bother going the junkyard route as you could end up with worn out leafs. Having to redo it was a pain in the ass so just trying to help you save some headaches.

Re: Rear flip kit 77 big10
I ended up flipping mine using the stock springs. I figured if it the axle hit the frame I would notch it or try to raise it with some shorter shackles (not sure these exist). I might have 1.5 inches of clearance and the axle rarely hits the frame.
