Leaf spring flip

So I just bought a 78 f150 reg long box and I am looking at lowering it, I’m wondering how much of a drop a leaf spring flip does and how much do I need to drop the front to make it level? And what I need for the front to do so, don’t want it sitting on the ground but definitely needs to come down, never lowered a truck before any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated

thanks from Southern MANITOBA

It's hard to say if you can flip the rear springs without having to notch the frame. I see you posted it in the 1973 - 1979 F-100 & Larger F-Series Trucks forum and will likely get your answer there.
