Re: Flip kit ended up too low. How do I gain some height back?

I assume this is because of my HD leaf pack.

So what are my options here? Any way to easily raise the back end up an inch or even two? I would prefer raising the rear rather than lowering the front more.

Any suggestions?
Cutting 1/2 coil out of the front springs will give you 1” more drop. I would wait until you get 4-500 miles on it first. Also, are the bottom of the front springs seated correctly? That can cause it to be higher also.
