You can go with a 5/7 drop and not C-notch the frame. You might have to cut a cross brace under the bed, but that depends on what length leaves you have.

I did a flip kit on the rear of my 86 and have to put a cnotch in so it won't sit on the bump stops!  I believe the flip kit translates to about 5 inches in the rear!  And I think I am down 5 to 6 inches in the front with spindles and drop springs!  And before I mention somewhere that has kits for sale what are the rules on posting links or other Catalogs?

Right now it rides a little rough in the back because it's sitting on the bump stops!  Aside from that it doesn't ride much different in the front.

Hey I have drop spindles and drop coils each with a 3 inch drop for a total of 6 up front and a flip in the back that said it would go 6. I had to change my front tires cause they rubbed on the fender but I had 275/60/15s on the front. do you get any rubbing?
