Alright, Ive seen it done, but I forget what the name of the clamp is called, it's to put your leaf springs under your rear axle, and would anyone know how low it's gonna go? I need to match the front but I dont know what I should do to the front.

Flip kit will get you about 5" of drop in the rear. It is not a simple bolt on kit. You will need new spring perches and they have to be welded in at the correct location so everything stays aligned.

^^yes, I dont know if you can buy them seperately from the entire drop kit or what. The drop shackles do not provide enough drop to me, it barely differs from stock. I have pics of mine stock, with 2" drop shackles, and my sig is the 2/4.5 with the flip kit. If you dont weld them and just bolt it on, it will eventually get loose and could be a disaster. I can take a pic of what my flip kit looks like if you would like

Yes. I would live you see what it looks like, and my cousin is gonna do all the leaf spring stuff. He did everything to his bronco. 4 inch body lift with re torqued leaf springs. And I think we're gonna do both, just for shits and giggles so things will stay.

Okay, here's the pics of my flip kit. I have it bolted and welded on both sides of the perches.






If you want any other pics of it, lemme know I can go right outside and take them
