Question

lowering

how much do you think it would lower the back end if I took out the helper leaf and put the axel on top of the leaf springs? would i have to C notch the frame? Would that be to much lowering if i only took off 1 and a half coils off the front springs?

If you do a ''flip'' kit on the rear,it's going to drop atleast 4'' maybe more.

A flip kit using the stock springs, I believe lowers the vehicle 5 inches. Yeah you'll need to C-notch the frame.
