Just call LowRiders in Surrey they can hook you up with a flip kit at a decent price

6" is going to set you down quite a bit. and Blocks are only going to make you lower. You may need more drop in the front.

Later Mario

hey guys just got in from the shop, looooong day, about 10 hours out there with my dad, we have decided not to flip the leafs, instead we put some different shackles on the back which allready lowered it an inch and a half, and i think i might get some new leafs made, we dont really want to flip the leafs right now b/c we have too much other chit to do, maybe down the road but for now it will stay the way it is, thanks for all the help and info though

Derek
