    I did. Watched several videos on 1st gens bj flip, but nothing for 2nd gen. I went out to look at it, and it doesn't look too hard. Guess I should look before I start posting :)

    I think what you're meaning is when you lower the truck 4 inches you NEED to do the ball joint flip. The flip alone doesn't give you 4 inches of drop.
