So here's my issue.
I've decided on a 2/4", and I'm going to use DJM LCA's to get the 2" drop up front, however, since I don't have the proper tools to safely pull the rear of my truck apart to do a flip kit, and labor rates are RIDICULOUS, I'm looking at a cost effective solution to drop the rear or the truck 4". So my question is:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a flip kit, over simply using a 3" drop shackle, and removing the rear block?
The labour intensive portion of the rear drop is replacing the rear hangers, I can easily eliminate that by changing my drop strategy, and it'll lessen the blow to my wallet as far as ordering a kit goes, paying simply for LCA's, rather than with a flip kit in mind.
Oh, and for the rear shocks, I'm about 99% sure I'll run stock with Mcaughys shock extenders.
EDIT: seems DJM has a rear kit that does what I'm looking for. 3" drop shackle, and spring plate to remove the rear block. https://djmsuspension.com/product/rk2507-3/
