As a general rule,... I use this formula:
1/2 coil = 1" of drop.

I also used the DJM flip kit and found that 1/2 coil, along with DJM's 3" spindles, will make it level. Hope that helps.

I cut off one coil and 3" drop spindles for a slight rake.

Not to hijack a thread. Can I go 3/4 coil? Any pics? I have a few days off for TG and I think I can do the drop then as I think I'll have my goodies in order.

Is that the 5" DJM flip kit? Did you need to install c-notches?

I'd say go the full coil from the stock coil but any more the coils will fall out of the spring pockets when you lift the front of the truck up

Its the 5" flip kit and i didnt have to take the bed off or c-notch the frame. It was pretty easy. The hardest part was grinding off the old bump stops.

Did you measure the drop on the rear with the flip kit?
