Here's my RamCharger with a flip in the rear & van LCA's in the front with all stock original springs

The tires are offset to make it sit level

Truck has a great stance.
How much does the axle flip actually lower the truck? Is it like 6”?
Thanks for any info.

I just did this with the axle flip and Van 3/4 ton LCA's. It dropped the rear about 5 inches and the front just under 3 inches. I will have to figure out if I want to do a little modifying to drop the front some more or bring the rear up, haven't decided.
