well i bought and installed my 2/4 drop kit and i want to go lower. I know i need springs up front now ( i jsut have lowering spindles), but installed shackles and hangers for the rear.. what do i need to do for the rear, besides a flip kit, becuase if i fliped the rear axle i think i would be in negitive numbers. so what are my options? thanks for the help

You can notch the rear and add a spring or just put the stock hangers and shackles back on and flip it.

well taking them of was a little bit of work in the first place..how hard would it be to add a spring to the leaf springs?
Add a 2" drop leaf spring and you have your 6" drop. All you need then is the cnotch
where would i be able to find those leaf springs, and i will still ahve to notch te rear end? am i flipping the reqar end after i install the 2 inch drop springs? or what does everyone think..does it need to be lowered more, here is a side shot. i know it needs taller tires, but im not sure excatly on what i should do. http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Picture046.jpg

Belltechcorp.com 88-98 Chevy / GMC Full Size Pickup (AI) 4" 5950 (each)
You can buy those through almost any company. Summit has great prices on BT parts.
4" lowering spring. If you only want 2" you'll have to put your original rear hanger back on so you will have a total of 6" drop in the rear. You will need the c'notch when lowering 6". You might need some pinion shims for your axle to get it aligned properly.
