Post axle flip

How much will an axle flip kit lower the back of the truck. I'm considering purchasing a flip kit but don't know how much it will drop it so I know what to buy for the front.

Should drop you about 5 inches, but every truck is a bit different..

You can add another 1/2 to 1 inch drop by removing the load spring too. I removed it on my truck. The standard flip kit is 5".
