Flip Kit or Lowered Leafs & Shackles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am planning on lowering my 71 LWB. The rear suspension is leaf springs and I was wondering how many inches a flip kit would lower the bed? The total I can get with new lowered leafs and shackles is 4" + 1.5" = 5.5". Let me know your opinion on both methods of lowering.

Plans for the front drop is 2.5" spindles and 1" springs. What are the other options and your opinion?

I am thinking of rebuilding the frontend at the same time. Should I buy a kit or pieces from Autozone or Kragens or ? Thank in advance.
