I did an axle flip on my 81, it went much much lower than 4 inches. It was more like 6. I dropped the front 4 1/2 too using spindles and shocks. I plan to basically do the same thing with my 70 stepper if I can get my act together.

If you are just looking for a mild drop an axle flip is probably not what you want IMO.

But maybe you bite the bullet and slam that truck! Most people in my experience who start off with a mild drop end up dropping it even further later on.
