Will I have to install a flip kit if I 4 link rearend?

I have a 72 GMC and want to go 4 link. Will I need to also install a flip kit? I don't think I will because I will be getting rid of the leaf springs. I guess I should just call www.***************** and talk to them. Just trying to get some info from the guys who have a GMC with leafs that have converted over to a 4 link. Anyone have pics of such projects?

No you would be wasting your money if you are going to four link it.

Beat me to posting my own project , if you have any questions let me know. But no you dont need a flip kit, the leaf springs are going to be no more.
