You can flip the axle on top of the springs for 5-7" of drop. How low are you wanting to go?

Flip the rear hanger along with the flip. It'll end up about 4-4.5". You have to switch to 56" springs though. Mine has plenty of travel without a notch. I made a template for redrilling the hanger farther back with the 56's. Pretty simple swap...

Re: K5 4x4 converted to 2wd
I have already removed some of the leaves on the rear ....just need a couple more inches to make it right. Im hoping I can find a shackle to fit to give me 2 more inches of drop.

52" in the rear. I think the front 4x4 leaves are 50", maybe?
