im wanting to lower the rear end of my truck alittle more, i have 2'' drop shackles on it now, if i do the swap and put the stock shackles back on how low would i be? any tips on flipping the rear end?? thanks!!! first thread post!

 

Iv been wondering the same thing now ,I think everybody around here lifts there's

 

Lift the truck!! But really how much lower than two inches can these things go? It seems like more than that you'd have to avoid speed bumps.

 

Depends on the brackets used for the flip but I believe its 4" if memory serves me right.

 

mine was lowered monts ago, 2 inches front and 4 rear, there were few issues as I use my truck as dd and in my work (farm), sometimes hitting rocks with the transmission support or crossmember, same thing that got me stuck in a very step driveway, and hard bottoming before adding air bags, but there are good things too, like easy access to the engine, bed etc, and a lot better stability in the highway and curves. yes I miss my lowered ram.

 

Depends on the flip kit you buy, usually 4-6 inches. You can get a 6 inch flip with c notches for around 200. Or if money is tight, you can flip the hangers, drop shackles, and take out the middle leaf for 5 inches of drop.

 

I just bought new perches, and I'm flipping it this weekend, I was thinking if it is lower than the front putting the stock shackles back on...
With a rear end flip would I need to knotch the frame?
It looks like I'll be around 2 or 3 inches from the frame with the rear end after the flip...

 

Have a large person jump up and down on the rear bumper, and see if the axle contacts the frame.....

 

Ha good idea. I'll post pics after the drop

 

On my dd Mazda the axle hits the frame all the time lol.
