Re: lowering my 84 lwb

i was also looking into doing it on my truck. like you said you can buy a "flip kit" which just changes where your axle is, insted of being under the leaf it get moved over top of the leaf lowering your trucks rearend about 4-5 inches.

Re: lowering my 84 lwb

A flip kit should give you 5 or 6 inches of drop depending on the brand.
