lowering to 4/6 from 2/4 drop.

[5.3_silverado]

I have a belltech 2/4 drop on my truck right now. The front I know I can do springs or lower control arms. The rear is a little different. It has shackles and hangers.
Would doing a flip kit lower it more than six inches?
Is there other option for the rear besides a flip kit?
My main problem is I don't want to cut my frame as I always haul a lot of stuff.

1. To get 6" you will need a flip kit and to remove your shackles and hangers.
2. You will HAVE to notch if you go any lower than you are now
3. Just because you have a notch doesnt mean you cant haul. Just get a good set of shocks and you wont have any issues at all

Thank for the input. So I need to put my factory shackles and hangers back on and go ahead and flip it. I can get a set of shocks with coil springs on them. Like I have now. For the front I'm going to get the drop springs and alignment kit if needed.

Yup. What he said.

Yes.

I ended doing a 1 inch in the front and 1.5 in the rear. If I go lower I will have to redo my exhaust and I tucked and bent it as tight to the body and frame as I could.
