2/2 Drop, looking to go lower!

So i have a 2/2 drop and i wana go 2 inches lower in the rear. Can this be accomplished by a "Flip Kit?" What would be required? I see you can order blocks from DJM for like 25 bucks, if i put them in with the flip kit what will that do? If i simply flip the springs to the other side of the axle about how low will it put me?

I have a 2WD without factory blocks. Any help would be appreciated! Any way to go 2 inches lower in the rear would be helpful (i currently have a shackle in the back)

Assuming you have a shackle/coil drop...

I don't think a rear flip kit matched with 2" drop coils would give the best of handling conditions. The front would be stiff and the rear would be soft.

Your best bet is to find some drop leaf springs.

Eibach sells a 3" leaf pack, and assuming your shackles have multiple holes in them you can adjust the drop accordingly. Look at their site and then search with the p/n. Summit has pretty good deals on eibach stuff.

Lol, nope only has one set of holes. I'm considering maybe just a 3" drop shackle now. We'll see! haha. Maybe a leaf pack in the future, but 5 inches is too low for me!
