New guy, rear flip kit question
Hi all, new guy here. I have a 67 f100 with a 352fe. At the moment I'm rebuilding the fe and i want to lower this truck.
My plans is to do a axle flip, 1 or 2in blocks and c notch frame, with 17in wheels.
How much of a drop should that be?
I'm doing drop beams in front and doing a full 4 link and bag setup down the road

An axle flip is worth 4 to 5 inches. Any more than that and it won't have much of a frame behind the C-notch and very little travel.
As far as the amount lowered, that depends on the reference point - centerline of axle in relation to the body or the body in relation to the ground? The latter is also dependent on the planned sidewall height.
Why not just do the 4-link now? Seems like double spending to do an axle flip and then the 4-link later.
