Default Flip Kit

Does anyone know of a company that makes a 4" flip kit for a 2000 silverado? PM me if you do cause I'll most likely forget that I made this thread. I'm thinking of 2" coils and 4" flip kit. A guy said that he'd install that for $175. If anyone has this how much does it affect the ride of the truck?

All flip kits will give 6" of drop. You could do a flip kit and put a djm lifting shackle on. I think the shackle gives 1" lift so you would be at 5" drop. A 2/5 would sit nice and level, most 2/4 still have a slight rake to them. Anytime you change the springs, leaf or coil, the ride will suffer slightly. If you want a factory like ride, look into control arms(djm) or spindles(Mcgaughy's?) and a flip kit or shackle/hanger combo. If you want it to handle better, look into hotchkis leafs and springs.
