Re: Flip kit after 4" lowering kit?

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?
