Suspension suggestion
currently the front of my truck is bagged with just cups and plates but my rear only has a 4" drop with 2" drop hangers and 2" drop shackles and I do not like the rake at all and i don't like driving at 2/4 height with a bagged front.... With that being said im thinking about purchasing a western chassis flip kit with the c notch some shock relocaters etc. but with the 4" drop all ready will the 9-10" in the rear be too much? Im already hitting my bump stops lol without the c notch, I will install smaller bump stops. I can adjust the drop hangers to be 1" and I think the drop shackle is also adjustable, unfortunately I don't have oem hangers or shackles anymore.

Re: Suspension suggestion
I don't have the resources to go all out on the back just yet, just looking for a temporary solution thats not breaking my bank at this time.

Re: Suspension suggestion
9-11'' out back is going to be a lot. I doubt you can get away with a C-notch. You could do the flip kit and go back to stock shackles. That will give you 7 and be able to drive around

Re: Suspension suggestion
Looks great but also looks maybe too low for a static drop. Just watch your lower control arms. Dips at speed is the killer.
