Re: Nagging Bagging Question (rear)

a flip will lower you 5-6" keeping the same spring rate, you are actually only moving the axle center up similar to how a drop spindle works for the front. you will need to pick up a flip kit or some new axle mounting pads. keep in mind that the shocks you have now will be too long to use with the flipped axle unless you get some mount extenders, I dont like them because the shock can hang pretty low when extended. since you are getting a helper spring kit as well, best to upgrade to new shocks of a shorter length.

I havent flipped a TF, but on later model trucks sometimes you need a c notch.

plan plan plan. it could be you could use a flip kit and a lift shackle to give you say, 4" of rear drop. if you want more drop you can use the flip kit and a block to get an 8" rear drop. there are lots of possibilities. good luck!
