For those who have moved the stock rear leaf springs under the axle, how much drop did that give you? Does it change the position of the rear wheel in the wheel well? Thanks for the help..

On my 55 2nd,I bought a new leaf spring setup from TCI.The kit contained new 5 leaf springs,new spring hangers,and shackles. Also new shocks and shock mounts,as well as pads to flip the rear end.It lowered the truck approx. four inches.There is still all kinds of room in the fender area.
