Flip kit+ Flipped Shackles= 6-7" Drop
Flipped Shackles only= 2"

True - when I did my axle flip I had the shackles flipped - too low for me so I flipped the shackles back to stock.

wouldn't the dual flip use up nearly all the up/down travel at the axle (for future reference)

Yes - I was sitting ON the bump stops when dropped that way. I would have needed to remove bumps and add a bolt/weld in c-notch to get anymore travel.

I did not want to go through with the notch and the additional work to lower the front. Have been happy with her at 3/4. Just not my choice to go lower - LOL.

watch your pinion angle

I've been doin some research on the subject and it seems that the shackle flip will affect your pinion angle more then any other lowering method for the back. Have you considered blocks?

Here's mine with flip kit, and shackle hanger flip.
I have an 8.8, so the flip kit dropped it 5.5". Plus another 2.5 or so from the shackle flip.

Definately need a notch for this.

8.8 is the designtion for the rearend ring gear.
My drop is 5" front, 8" rear.
