    Lowering 1981 c20

    Hi there, I have a 1981 c20 and im looking to lower it 4/6 or 5/5 in that ballpark. would i be correct in saying that a flip kit gets you 8 inches not 6? I've really struggled to find kits and lowering parts for this truck tbh. Any advice on how to achieve my goal is welcomed.
