correct way to install a 4/6 drop

hey everyone, id like to know any trucks/hints on installing a 4/6 drop for my truck. I have the majority of the front drop figured out, simply a process of replacing parts. However for the rear doing a flip kit, im not sure how to go about doing that as well as installing the C notch. Any help on letting me know what needs to be done for the rear would be greatly appreciated.

Re: correct way to install a 4/6 drop

Flipping the axle shouldn't give you any trouble, Take a look at this for installing the C-notch....
