Flip kit after 4" lowering kit?
 

I just picked up a 93 C1500 Sport and I wanted to lower it so I went with Belltech 2-3/4 lowering kit with the coil springs and I like the look but I think I want it lower, how can I put in a flip kit now that the springs have been lowered 4"? I assume a flip kit by itself gives you 6" and if it is already 4" with springs then 10" would be way too much. My original spring perches are a bit beat up from chiseling the rivets out and the truck came with 2" rear drop shackles so I do not have the factory ones.

Thanks for any input.

You will need to buy new stock hangers (or spring perches) and stock shackles.
You can bolt the hangers on with grade 8 hardware similar to the lowering hangers. I took a 2/4 dropped truck down to 5/6 & used hangers from Rock Auto.
It should be a pretty simple part swapping process other than the c-notch need for the flip kit.

Are you planning on doing spindles up front at the same time to lower the front more too?

Or buy lowering leafs to get the rear down and forget the flip kit.

Ok that is what I figured I would need to do but just wanted to double check.

On the front I will be doing drop spindles but I haven't decided on which brand yet, whichever allows me to run my stock 15's until I figure out which 20" wheels and tires with what offsets I need. I know I have to grind some lower control arm away but I want ones that will allow me to grind the least away.
